     A little while ago, a friend of mine recommended a book to me, The Looking Glass Wars, written by Frank Beddor. I was immediately intrigued because the entire premise of the book was that it was the “real” story of Alice in Wonderland. The main character, Alyss, also known as Alice, in the more popular versions of Alice in Wonderland, is the heir to the Heart Thrown and was born and raised in Wonderland. Unfortunately, her evil Aunt Redd overthrew her mother and chased her out of Wonderland. The rest of the book is about her trying to get back to her home and kill her aunt. This book is a very easy read! I was able to read it in one night!  It has a lot of vivid imagery. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Lewis Carroll. I should also mention this book is part of a trilogy that I plan on reading eventually; the second book is called Seeing Redd, and the third is called Arch Enemy.
