In the second Changeling novel Neef of Central Park must undo her quest from the previous volume and return the Mirror of the Mermaid Queen to its rightful owner - all while attending Miss Van Loon's school for changelings. Sherman adds better characterization and more thematic complexity to her rpetoire in this novel, rather than simply focusing on plot and action, so I found this book to be a much more enjoyable read than the first. Neef has to learn to make human/changleling friends, and while doing so she also learns her place as the diplomatic voice of Central Park - which clearly sets us up for further stories about grown up Neef.

Neef goes to a school for mortal changelings, makes friends--and enemies, and embarks on a quest for the Mermaid Queen's magic mirror, which is missing.

Light but enjoyable. Neef is an endearing character. ( )
