Best for early independent readers who enjoyed the first Alice book and want more imaginative wordplay, surreal encounters, and absurdist adventure.
About the Book
In this companion to a beloved nonsense classic, a young girl steps through a mirror above her fireplace into a reversed world structured like a giant game of chess, where she must navigate from one end of the board to the other while encountering a series of increasingly strange and logically inverted characters. The story continues the dreamlike, language-driven imagination of the first book.
