Alyss in Wonderland

When her Aunt Redd rebels from out beyond the checkerboard, Princess Alyss and Hatter Madigan (the head of the Wonderland Milinery which is approximately equal to the secret service) escape to our world through the Pool of Tears. In the series by Frank Beddor, you find out what happens next.

I've only finished the first book The Looking Glass Wars, and Seeing Redd is waiting for me to pick it up at the library. Definitely recommended - it's only distantly related to the original "Alice", and it's a good story.

Seeing Redd was a little harder for me to get into at first, but still good. It definitely leaves you waiting for book three though.

Oh, and there is one part in the copy I read that I thought happened at the beginning of the book, but it was really the spoiler part - the excerpt from a later chapter that they put in the front as an example of the book. It was really confusing until I figured that out.
