The Looking Glass Wars
by: Frank Beddor
Speak, 2007
Lewis Carroll got Alice's tale all wrong! First of all he misspelled her name. At age seven Princess Alyss Heart of Wonderlandia sees things no child should ever have to see. When the Queen of Hearts orders her bodyguard Hatter Madigan to take Alyss through the Pool of Tears and protect her, everything gets mixed up. Hatter and Alyss are separated! While Hatter searches non-stop for the Princess, Alyss is forced to adjust to our world. Does that mean she has to forget her life in Wonderlandia? Meanwhile in Wonderlandia Alyss' aunt Redd, Her Imperial Viciousness, reigns in terror. When Hatter finds Alyss and she returns to Wonderlandia her friends begin to doubt her ability to fight Redd and take her rightful place as Queen. Will living in "reality" too long result in a tragic fate for Alyss and Wonderlandia after all?
Personal Review: This book is amazing! Once you open the book and begin to read it's hard to stop. The story line is fast paced and exciting with imaginative descriptions to match. Beddor creates a completely new world which sounds so real readers will wonder if it really exists. Characters age in this book, the book starts with Alyss at seven years old and at the end she is twenty years old. Although when the characters age they still sound like teenagers it is still incredible interesting to follow their lives. This book has action, fantasy, and of course a little romance too. Girls and boys alike will love it!
Warning: This book is very violent. Many people die very bloody deaths. This book is also filled with monsters. However, the book remains light-hearted through all of this.
