The first in a trilogy, this startling, fast-paced fantasy adventure transforms Lewis Carroll's heroine, Alice, into Princess Alyss Heart, a feisty little girl in exile from her beloved Wonderland. When her evil Aunt Redd steals the throne from Alyss's mother, and transforms the beautiful, White Imagination-fueled world into a tense, watchful society filled with nasty Black Imagination, war breaks out, and the girl finds refuge in another world by jumping into the Pool of Tears. Will Alyss ever be able to go home, or will she be forever doomed to the strict English society she's confined to? Filled with inventive creatures, rebels, and valiant fighters, this middle-grade novel is sure to please fantasy fans.

Media Reviews

on Apr 19 2008, BayShore Books LLC said:
"This is one of the most fantastically imaginative books I have read in a long time. I was completely hooked after the prologue unveiled “Alice’s Adventures Underground” by Lewis Carroll and the devastation this caused the real Alyss. Frank Beddor has done a remarkable job weaving this “true” version of Wonderland through the beloved fairy tale.
