Excellent Retelling

I thought this was an amazing retelling. The author did an awesome job of not only writing a great story but really making the characters feel real including the more fantastical one. I highly recommend it!

Lackluster Wonderland

I was excited for this retelling of Alice in Wonderland with a black girl as Alice, but it didn't live up to what it could've been. The prologue was fun! There were a lot 90s nostalgia and I couldn't tell if it was written for today's teens or millenniums. Wonderland was lackluster; not enough description. Which was really disappointing BECAUSE ITS WONDERLAND. There were some things added that I didn't think really went with the overall story. I just wish this book gave me a little more..
