The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor
Looking Glass War Series
Young Adult, 2004
from fantasticfiction.co.uk:
Alyss, born in Wonderland, is destined to be a warrior queen. After a bloody coup topples the Heart regime, Alyss is exiled to another world entirely, where she is adopted into the Liddell family, renamed Alice and befriended by Lewis Carroll. At age 20 she returns to Wonderland to regain her sceptre, battle Redd and lead Wonderland into its next golden age of imagination.
Trackgeek:
While a tad silly on the premise of the story, I can appreciate twisting Lewis Carrol's original storyline. It seems only fitting considering how off the wall Carrol's imagery and writing is in the first place. The writing was very descriptive and the plot moseyed well, keeping me engaged, even while reading in a laundromat.
Graded a B-.
