Book Club's next pick is The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor; all are welcome to join the discussion after school in the library on Thursday, January 8.
From Goodreads: "When Alyss Heart, heir
to the Wonderland throne, must flee through the Pool of Tears to escape
the murderous aunt Redd, she finds herself lost and alone in Victorian
London. Befriended by an aspiring author named Lewis Carroll, Alyss tells
the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Alyss trusts this
author to tell the truth so that someone will find her and
bring her home, but he gets the story all wrong. Fortunately, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan knows
all too well the awful truth of Alyss' story and he is searching every
corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to
Wonderland so she may eventually battle Redd for her rightful place as
the Queen of Hearts."
If you weren't able to get a copy of The Looking Glass Wars at the last meeting, stop in the library to pick one up this week. The official website for the book is lookingglasswars.com , and there's a lot of cool extras about this series there.
The books and meetings for the rest of the year have been set, so join us on the following days if you're interested in any of the books we'll be reading later this year.
