I loved this and how the original story has been twisted to make something cool. Alice just wants to be a great spy, but when the rest of the gang just wanna “mess about”, she’s not sure it’s for her. There’s some brilliant parallels to the original here and I love the way the characters were still true enough to the original but changed enough to be cool! Good fun!

Me lo dejaron para leer en mi clase de inglés y no estaba mal, fácil de leer, se lee en menos de 20 minutos y su inglés muy básico lo recomiendo.

This was such a great twist on the classic Alice in Wonderland story!

A fun, harmless retelling with spy features and a simple message. Some characters are drawn with brown skin and size diversity is also present.

Seemed a little derivative at first, but really grew on me as it developed. My young son loved it though, and he's more the target audience for this. A creative and fun take on the classic.

Great short read for a young reader. There's discussion questions in the back which make it great for classroom discussion. The writing is tight and the character designs are super fun!
