The Looking Glass WarsBy Frank Beddor
The Looking Glass Wars is a book that starts off in the magical kingdom of Wonderland, where a select few people are able to make things happen simply by using their imaginations. Princess Alyss Heart is celebrating her birthday party, when her evil Aunt Red crashes the party, brings news of how she killed Alyss's father, proceeds to kill Alyss's mother, then takes over the kingdom. Alyss is forced to leave the palace by her bodygaurd, Hatter Madigan, but the two of them accidentally fall into a portal to Earth. Alyss comes out in England, while Hatter comes out in France. Hatter searches for ten years to find Alyss. When he finally does and they go back to Wonderland, they find that Red has completely messed up Wonderland, and they must fight Red to retake the kingdom. The book is a cool new take on Alice in Wonderland, though not as whimsical as the original. The book, though, was thoroughly interesting and thus deserves 8 stars out of 10! Yay! Congratulations! You earn 5 imaginary Golden Duckets!
