The Looking Glass Wars is a new take on the Lewis Carroll books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. In this series princess Alyss is training and is destined to have the strongest imagination in the family. Imagination is how the people in Wonderland use to fight against bad guys lik...
