Mad About the Hatter is a really enjoyable YA story that can be enjoyed by everyone. There’s a little bit of romance, with a kiss or two, but mostly it’s a story with a lot of important messages for all ages. It advocates acceptance, doing the right thing, being nice to others and many more. The messages are a bit subtle at times and the book isn’t preachy; it’s just a really great story overall.
I’ve never read Alice in Wonderland but that didn’t make any difference to my enjoyment of this book. Dakota Chase really came up with some very inventive ways to deliver important messages. Joel Leslie has long been one of my favorite audiobook performers and this book is a great example of why. The many different character voices he uses in this book had me wondering at times if there wasn’t more than one voice actor, even though I knew that he was the only one. This truly was a very special audiobook to listen to.
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
