Wonderland is reimagined as a fantastical world with a matriarchal structure that is powered primarily through the forces of creation and imagination. The story follows the conflict between Redd and Alyss Heart in their struggle for control over Wonderland.
This study guide references the 2007 Speak reprint paperback edition.
The novel uses historically accurate details to frame the narrative as an account of the truth behind the real-life text of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Beddor also continues some of Carroll’s motifs-whimsy, living chess pieces, cards, and mirrors ( looking glasses)-and incorporates historical context around real-life figures such as Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) and Alice Liddell.
The novel uses several of Carroll’s iconic figures, including Alice, the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit.
