There’s wonderful world building, vivid descriptions, lots of action and fantastic writing. While the story is a race against time, its’ so well paced. The plot of Unbirthday is fun and full of adventure. It’s so reminiscent of the original story and the movie adaptations. These characters are full of nonsense and witty humour, even during moments of despair. I especially love the Mad Hatter, who always has a special place in my heart. I also love Katz! He’s a great addition to this twisted story. Alice’s relationship with her Aunt Vivian is fun because of their shared love of photography. I also love the banter between Alice and the other characters in this book. But she’s also incredible devoted to Wonderland and her friends. She’s older in this book so she’s a bit bolder. Liz Braswell stays true to the classic Alice, which is so important to me.

I really love Alice in Wonderland because it’s a classic Disney story full of nonsense! Unbirthday remains so true to the aspects of the original story we all know and love.Īlice is a really lovely main character in Unbirthday. As Alice deals with the troubles in Wonderland, she also deals with trying to stay there to help. But things are a bit different this time around. Unbirthday follows Alice as she travels to Wonderland once again. Needless to say, I was super excited when I got a digital ARC of the newest addition to the Twisted Tales series!

I love everything about Disney - the theme parks, the music, the characters, the movies. But will she able to do so … before the End of Time?

Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts’ tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice’s help. There’s something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. She’s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she’s curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.īut when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects-the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. Yao’s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She’d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian’s lively salon, ignoring her sister’s wishes that she stop all that “nonsense” and become a “respectable” member of society. What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?Īlice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her.
