About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their inner world is too big for the reality around them, or when they are struggling to maintain their confidence while navigating a new environment. This interactive scrapbook presents the 'true' story of Alyss Heart, the princess who inspired Alice in Wonderland, through a collection of hidden letters, journals, and artifacts. It is a story about the power of imagination and the resilience required to hold onto one's identity when no one else believes your truth. While the book functions as a companion to The Looking Glass Wars, it stands alone as a beautiful exploration of loneliness and creativity. The tactile nature of the scrapbook format makes the themes of belonging and self-assurance feel grounded and personal. It is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers who enjoy solving mysteries and uncovering layers of a story. Parents will appreciate how it validates the intense emotional life of a child who feels like an outsider.
