travelling kids? The setting was, as best I can remember it, a land containing a series of kingdoms in which the people all had different mystical powers. The female protagonist was a princess (I believe) from a kingdom where people could create alternate realities for themselves to play in, and she would often to her mother's chagrin create different worlds to escape to.
She really hates the world she lives in and all the rules she has to follow. At some point she runs away with this boy and they go on an adventure through time and space. They end up in our world, where she describes a motorcycle as a "wingless dragonfly." Everyone in our world is beginning to develop the mystical powers the protagonists are acquainted with from their own time, and the girl is frustrated by the chaos and uses her own power to create the organized kingdoms she grew up in and used to hate.
At one point in the book, the girl is startled to realize that all the alternate universes she used to imagine and play in actually continue on without her when she leaves.
I read this book, or it may have been a two book series, about 7 years ago. I borrowed it from a friend, and it might have been fairly old. I believe the title was something like "Reverse, Reverse" or "Mirror, Mirror", but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I also remember the cover being split into four pictures that were variations of the same image. If anybody knows this book, please let me know. I've been trying to remember its name for ages.
Thanks!
