Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Grade 9 Up—Wonderland is left reeling after the disappearance of imagination, and Queen Alyss Heart must defend her queendom from threats both internal and external, as King Arch of Boarderland and her aunt, Redd Heart, attempt to take control of Wonderland's throne and the powerful Heart Crystal. Alyss, along with her loyal subjects—Homburg Molly, Hatter Maddigan, Bibwit Harte, and Dodge Anders—must fight, at times both with and without imagination, to save Wonderland and Earth from imagination's total destruction. They have only hints from the oracular caterpillars about Everqueen and the need for action by Molly, Alyss, and Redd to shield the Heart Crystal and imagination. Frank Beddor's nonstop action and well-crafted world of Wonderland make his novel (Penguin, 2009) fast-paced and exciting. Gerald Doyle's superb narration will entrance listeners, and his many different voices for the characters along with clever sound effects will capture their imaginations. This excellent and satisfying end to the trilogy is a must-have for fans of the other volumes as well as for those who enjoy Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle.—Sarah Flood, Breckinridge County Public Library, Hardinsburg, KY

More About the Author

Literary sleuth and world creator Frank Beddor dared to expose the true story of Wonderland in his novels The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, volumes one and two in the trilogy. Fascinated by the ancient, illuminated cards first sighted at the British Museum, Beddor has spent ten years collecting and interpreting the scattered and elusive Wonderland decks. With Imagination deadlocked at the start of book 3, two cards were key in solving the mystery, the Caterpillar Oracles and the enigmatic card that lay buried and waiting at the bottom of the deck, known only as Everqueen. Even with the trilogy completed, Beddor is still searching and finding cards he believes will reveal more of the lost history of Wonderland.

To further satisfy the awakened curiosity of his readers Beddor has created the parallel adventures of Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan in the Hatter M graphic novel series and the online RPG, the Card Soldier Wars available at cardsoldierwars.com.
