The Looking Glass Wars Seeing Redd by Frank Beddor
The New York Times Bestseller The Looking Glass Wars shattered our ideas about Wonderland. Now, critically acclaimed author Frank Beddor and a producer of the smash hit, There’s Something About Mary, unleashes Part II of his inventive and dark Interpretation of Lewis Caroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in SEEING REDD. (On-Sale: August 21st 2007; $ 17.99/Ages 12 & Up).
Synopsis: Since the brutal murder of her parents and the devastating coup led by her vicious Aunt Redd in part I, Alyss has finally become queen and rightfully restored power to Wonderland. She has also reunited with her childhood companion and love interest Dodge Anders and even has a new bodyguard, the faithful Homburg Molly. Peace seems to be finally returning to Wonderland, but sadly, the fight for the Queendom is far from over. King Arch, in nearby Borderland, is planning to overthrow everything for which Alyss and her friends have fought so hard. A series of phantom sightings set fire to an urban myth that Redd has freed herself and her chief
assassin, the Cat, from the confines of Heart Crystal to challenge her niece once again. Has King Arch found an ally? If not, then who has resurrected Redd’s army, the Glass Eyes, and set them loose to attack Wonderland on all sides? Battles will rage, looking glasses explode and the Alyssians are once again uniting to defend White Imagination and all the wonders of Wonderland in SEEING REDD.
This fast paced, roller-coaster of a sequel filled with marvelously evil new villains and fantastic battle scenes will both satisfy fans of the first book and those new to the trilogy. SEEING REDD is sure to have young readers begging for more information about this Queen named Alyss. Long Live Wonderland!
