This book is a great play on the original Alice and Wonderland series but so much better!! Alyss Heart tried to share her story with a professor and he broke her heart. Alyss became Alice and a girl who dreamed up an imaginary world with a talking white rabbit and a mad hatter. The story begins with Alyss' birthday party and when her Aunt Redd crashes the party. Alyss escapes with the help of her mother's body guard Hatter Madigan. They jump into the Pool of Tears and appear in what we know as London. Alyss gets adopted and becomes Alice and is forced to adapt to her new home/world. At the same time, Wonderlanders are dealing with Redd's reign and Hatter Madigan is searching for Alyss.
This is a fantastic twist on a beloved story. The original book tended to bore me but this version was very interesting. I was intrigued by all the ways that the author incorporated the original story. He took pieces and turned them around into his version of what really happened. Give it a try. Then the rest of the series may join your reading list.
