It was the Reverend Charles Dodgson, more familiarly known as Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland. The Looking Glass Wars proposes that Dodgson's story is a twisted account of real events from another world. Beddor follows Alyss Heart from the day that her mother, Queen Genevieve of Wonderland, is killed by her Aunt Redd through Alyss's exile on Earth to her return to Wonderland and the dynastic wars that follow. Filled with the magic of Imagination, card warriors, and people with odd abilities, The Looking Glass Wars is an ingenious spin-off of Alice in Wonderland. Recommended for early teen readers.
