Looking-Glass Girl is another awesome book from Cathy Cassidy, it is a beautifully captivating read about the main character Alice who, goes to an Alice in Wonderland themed sleepover party (which sounds awesome!) and has a terrible, mysterious accident and finds herself in Wonderland. The book pulls you into two different worlds - down into Alice's Wonderland and into the real world of her family and friends. It keeps you hooked all the time, as you want to find out just what happened to Alice and how or IF she will ever return to the 'real' world. I love how the book is split between the two different worlds. It is also a very real and relateable book for her friendship dilemmas and fall-outs as I felt like I knew exactly how she must be feeling because she feels like an outsider or left out and confused sometimes and I wanted to comfort her or jump in and give her advice!
The story is a great escape and like all Cathy Cassidy books, it helps me feel less alone and carries me through difficult times, all the characters feel like friends I can visit.
The book inspired me to go and find out more about Alice in Wonderland and the film music, other interpretations, artwork ETC. With the new Alice through the Looking Glass film coming out, this is definitely one to read, or re-read! I know I am going to re-read it again and again. I got this book for Christmas and I was really excited to own it because I don't get to own many brand new books and it is beautiful.
