The Lost Wonderland Diaries by J. Scott Savage

5.0

---

This was a neat retelling of Alice in Wonderland, one of my favorite classics. I really liked how it addressed the topic Of misfits, something that I really related to when I first picked up Alice in Wonderland, and seeing it gave me serious nostalgia. The writing and characterization through a modern lens is really well handled and true to the original at the same time. You can tell the author really is a fan of the original. I also thought it was very clever how dyslexia was tied into the book, something that isn't seen very often in middle grade aside from the Percy Jackson series. I hope there are sequels, which the author leaves room for, because I would absolutely read them.
