Thoughts~
The added twist to fairy tales that we already know and love is AMAZING. Anyone that love fairy tales will definitely enjoy reading this.
Alice is SMART....engaging and exciting. Just a wonderful creative character. I love that the authors included so much of Alice's day to day life. It made the fantasy all that more real.
I look forward to reading Volume 2!
Wonderful writing, keeps the pages turning all the way to the end.
