The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor ( Abe Book)

I have always been told not to judge a book by its cover. However,  I have been hesitant to read this book for months based on the cover. I finally read The Looking Glass Wars and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. The book is the tale of Alyss Hearts, Princess of Wonderland. I am not very familiar with Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland so I found the story to be surprising as well as intriguing. The book opens on Alyss 7th birthday celebration in Wonderland and ends with Alyss as an orphan arriving in a strange lane called England. The author toggles back and forth between our land and Wonderland until Alyss one day rejoins her Queendom, Wonderland.
