The looking glass wars by frank beddor

Forget what you thought you knew about Alice in wonderland, this book begins by telling the truth behind the fairy tale......
Alyss, princess of the Queendom of Wonderland, barely escapes with her life when her Aunt Redd kills her parents in a bloody coup. Pursued by The Cat, an assassin created by Redd (a witch-like practitioner of Black Imagination), Alyss jumps through the Pool of Tears and ends up in Victorian London, where, after living as a street urchin and in an orphanage, she's adopted by the Liddell family of Oxford. Frustrated that no one will believe the story of her past, she's at first thrilled when family friend Charles Dodgson seems to believe her. But when he turns it into a fairy tale, she's devastated and resolves to forget Wonderland and assimilate as a normal British person. Eventually she grows up and forgets about Wonderland, or sees it only as a childish fantasy. But back in Wonderland her persecuted followers, the Alyssians, take up a guerrilla resistance to the harsh rule of Queen Redd.

I totally recommend this book to readers of all ages, although somewhat violent this book was a good page turner and kept me on my toes from start to finish. If you like fantasy books like the lightning theif for instance then you will love this new twist on lewis Carrol's childs story and never be able to put it down.
