This is the first special edition of the Whatever After series.

This story is different because Abby enters a story with her friends, instead of her brother. It’s also the first time she enters a story that isn’t a fairytale.

There were some other ways that this story was different from the other books in the series. The girls follow Alice’s adventure backwards. They don’t end up meeting Alice until the end. That part made sense for this plot, because Abby’s friends had to go on the journey along with Abby. It would have been very confusing to have five girls as main characters traveling through this adventure.

I really enjoyed this book. I hope there are other special editions in the future!

Special edition in the Whatever After series! In this book, Abby and her friends go to Wonderland. Everything is cooky, odd, backwards and exactly how Wonderland should be. I like how the author tosses in explanations for words that have more than 1 meaning or sound alike but are spelled differently. Great spin on one of my favorite stories. Love it!!!!

I thought this re-imagining was really good. It brouht the original Alice in Wonderland a new life. The characters were good, and the ending was good. It solved problems logically and I really liked how the Queen of Hearts was a actual card not a person. I don't have any complaints, beside the fact that it was a childish book, meaning it was middle grade, but overall it was good.

This was such a fun book! Characters that we've seen throughout the book suddenly took the front stage, and a friendship is blossoming between some of them. The twists inside of this story are great, the way the overall plot of the series is pushed forward is well done, and the main character's way of thinking is as quirky and fun as always!
