I absolutely adore the world Dakota Chase has created with Henry (boy Alice) and Hatter. In the second book of the Mad About the Hatter series Henry and Hatter leave Wonderland to help flying monkeys return to Oz. What they find is a world that flips the L. Frank Baum book on its head. Dorothy “The Destroyer” is actually the villain of the story. By killing the final wicked witch she destroyed the balance between good and evil and now Oz is dying. Before they go home to Wonderland Henry and Hatter go on a series of quests to return Oz to its former glory. Dakota Chase is amazing at channeling Hatter’s chaotic and absurd thoughts and running commentary in her writing. Her ability to take well known fantasy tales and make them feel fresh is fantastic. I highly recommend this book.
Dakota Chase’s Hatter and Joel Froomkin’s narration are a match made in heaven. I highly recommend this version.
