Seeing Redd is the second installment in the Looking Glass series. I read The Looking Glass Wars (book one) quite awhile ago and wish I would have read the two books closer together just because of the things that I forgot. The series is a retelling of the classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. -I personally love fairy tale retellings and have recently been able to find some fabulous ones. If you’re interested in some specific recommendations, contact me.-
Book two, Seeing Redd, starts off with Alyss Heart overseeing the responsibilities of being the Queen of Wonderland shortly after she’s defeated her tyrannical aunt, Redd Heart. Things quickly turn sour as Wonderland is attacked on all sides by an unknown enemy. Is the notorious Redd Heart back… or is there a new enemy that Alyss must use her imagination to defeat?
This is a very fun series with lots of creative and imaginative details. I think it’s a good series for both boys and girls. Some of the fighting sequences seemed a little intense, so it’s probably a series for a little bit older of a reader (13-14 yrs. old).
I actually listened to this book on CD. I thought the narrator did an absolutely wonderful job and made the book even more interesting. So… if you’re an audio book person, this is a fun one to listen to and I definitely recommend it.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
