A Wonderlandiful World: Ever After High

The fiction story A Wonderlandiful World: Ever After High written by Shannon Hale is a wonderful novel of the famous teenage Wonderland characters that are trying to save their school from the sinister Jabberwocky. The main characters are Maddeline Hatter (Maddie),  Mad Hatter’s daughter. She is Raven Queen, the Evil Queen’s daughter’s, best friend. Maddie is very bubbly, always happy, and she loves tea. She can hear the Narrator, and has occasional chats with her throughout the book. Lizzie Hearts, the Queen of Hearts daughter. Lizzie has a reputation of a strict, loud, and opposing character, but inside all she wants is to fit in. Lizzie owns a magical wonderland garden, and loves hedgehogs. Then last of all, Cedar Wood, Pinocchio's daughter. Cedar can only tell the truth no matter what, she is very earnest and curious. Cedar loves to paint and make beautiful artwork. The main problem is that the Jabberwocky is trying to take over Ever After High, since it escaped from mirror prison. The three friends have to join together to achieve the Wonderland sword, the only weapon that can kill a Jabberwocky, and slay the monster. My opinion is that this book is a fantastic blend of magic and wonder. I love the setting, which is a high school that teaches the sons and daughters of fairytale characters to embrace and follow their parents footsteps. I also loved the change that happened in the characters. Lizzie changes from a ensure princess to a confident queen! Cedar also found new friends, while expressing herself beyond her words. This novel is a marvelous twist of fantasy and love for your friends! -Serena
