Cheshire Crossing by Sarah Andersen, Andy Weir

4.0

I really enjoyed this graphic novel that ties Alice, Dorothy, and Wendy together in the same story. It's a fun reimagining where they all interact with each other and their worlds collide again and again. The girls are teens here, so they have more rebellious/feisty natures than in their respective books. We also see how their worlds have fared in the time without them, which adds to the fun. I don't know that this would make as much sense if readers weren't familiar with the books it calls to, since a lot of the references are from the books that aren't as well known. It can also be a little choppy sometimes in terms of narrative, but it was fine for me because it's not meant to be too serious. I like the ending which leaves things open for more installments. The concept reminded me very much of Lost Girls, but this is definitely for a teen and up audience, unlike Lost Girls which is extremely adult. Very fun and quick.

For: adaptation fans; readers looking for a graphic novel full of literary connections.

Possible red flags: language; violence; characters in peril.
