My book, Racing Savannah by Miranda Keneally, is generally a window for me. It’s about a girl named Savannah who moves from Maryland to a farm in Tennessee shortly after her mother dies from breast cancer. She lives with her father and his girlfriend in the staff house at Cedar Hills Farm. She gets a job as an horse exerciser, working with a horse named Tennessee Star. This is a window because I don’t work with horses every day or live on a farm. Usually it doesn’t really matter to me if the book I’m reading is a window or mirror but I would probably rather read a mirror book. I would rather read a mirror book because generally all the problems get solved by the end of the book, right? So, if the character in the book is dealing with problems like mine, then I already have a solution! I like reading window books as well because it helps me have an open mind and learn about other peoples’ problems. This helps me build empathy. This is my take on Window vs. Mirror books!
