    In the second installment of the Looking Glass Wars series a once peaceful Wonderland is under threat and Queen Alyss must face a new wave of adversaries.

    “There is plenty of violence, gore, and battle action here, and readers will find the pace breathtaking.”—School Library Journal

    Alyss of Wonderland’s rule has only just begun, and already those who prefer chaos to peace are threatening to destroy everything worth imagining. With her life now a mix of duty, love, and tough decisions, Alyss is doing her best to keep pace with the nonstop demands. And then a series of phantom sightings set fire to an urban myth. The people think Her Imperial Viciousness has returned. And everyone is seeing Redd.

    But has Redd somehow freed herself and her chief assassin, The Cat, from the confines of the Heart Crystal? If not, then who has resurrected Redd’s brutal foot soldiers, the Glass Eyes, and set them loose to attack Wonderland on all sides? Can Alyss unite her country and her people to defend White Imagination, or will Wonderland be lost?
    Frank Beddor is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Looking Glass Wars, the young-adult novel that first introduced young readers to the true story of Alyss. He lives in Los Angeles, California. View titles by Frank Beddor
    Praise for The Looking Glass Wars

    “Beddor makes ample use of Carroll-esque humor and wit. An entertaining diversion.”—Publishers Weekly

    “If you are interested in watching the birth of a well-thought out franchise, then this is for you. If you are simply curious or a hard-core fan of fantasy fiction, the looking glass awaits.”—Children's Literature

    “Alice in Wonderland gets an update in this first installment of a planned trilogy. Can she survive assassination attempts by the vicious Cat with nine lives, a spy amongst her faithful followers, a trek across the Chessboard Desert to Redd’s fortress at Mount Isolation and a duel of White vs. Black Imagination?”—Kirkus Reviews

    “Beddor offers some intriguing reimaginings of Dodgson’s concepts (such as looking-glass travel) and characters (the cat is an assassin with nine lives). His attention has, happily, put Wonderland back on the map again.”—Booklist
