5-7-08 The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor - Fiction
5 - This retelling of Alice In Wonderland will turn you on your head. Alyss Heart is Princess of Wonderland. The white rabbit isn't a rabbit at all, but a very large albino tutor, Bibwit Hearte (do the anagram). Hatter Maddigan is the personal security guard to the queen whose most dangerous weapon is his top hat. Wonderland is thrown into disarray when Redd, sister to the queen, captures the palace and kills the queen taking the crown as her own. Alyss is whisked away to another world to be protected but ends up in London, alone and with nothing. Thirteen years later she is taken from her groom at the alter and pulled back to Wonderland to help lead the rebel forces, the Alyssians, and to claim her rightful place upon the throne. This book is fantasy, adventure, and espionage rolled into a splendid package.
