![]() Finally, I will suggest how this contrast supports the possibility that the fantasy structures of the two Alice Books mirror each other. ![]() Further, I will demonstrate how these literary reversals help to create Alice's oxymoronic delight and confusion in Looking Glass Land by contrasting them with the literary materials used to produce like effects in Wonderland. ![]() My purpose here is to locate this tradition, particularly as it developed in the Looking Glass Book for children, in Carroll's fantasy and to demonstrate how it functions to introduce children's literature as a ground of reversal that works together with the more obvious physical reversals. Yet a survey of the critical responses to this fantasy reveals that Alice's passage through the physical looking glass and its attendant reversals have received a great deal of critical attention, while Alice's simultaneous passage through the tradition of the Looking Glass Book has been virtually ignored. ![]() ![]() The tradition of the Looking Glass Book plays an important structural and thematic role in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. ![]()

![]() ![]() “If you like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, you’ll love Miss Fortune.” “Sinfully funny!” - NYT Bestselling author CC Hunter/Christie Craig ![]() “Southern wit at its best!” - NYT Bestselling author Gemma Halliday ![]() Armed with her considerable skills and a group of elderly ladies the locals dub The Geritol Mafia, Fortune has no choice but to solve the murder before it’s too late. ![]() If she’s not careful, this investigation might blow her cover and get her killed. To top things off, the handsome local deputy is asking her too many questions.

Unfortunately, she hasn’t even unpacked a suitcase before her newly inherited dog digs up a human bone in her backyard.

You never quite know how things will turn out, and it's always an exciting journey to get there. That being said, I truly enjoyed this! It was a quick read, but it was fun and enjoyable. I'm not the target audience for middle grade novels. Cassidy's parents might be chasing ghosts, but it's Cassidy who actually gets to see them and interact with them. ![]() ![]() This book takes place in Paris, in the catacombs. The series follows Cassidy Blake and her ghost best friend as they accompany Cassidy's parents who are filming a television show about the world's most haunted cities. Tunnel of Bones is the second book in her paranormal middle grade series. She is just an amazing author and human and I adore her. I should begin by mentioning that Victoria Schwab (V. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One year on from the disappearance, Sophie arrives in the area, where her boyfriend is the new head teacher at an elite boarding school. She has never heard of Scarlett before, or the grand mansion where she lives. They attended an impromptu party at the house of Tallulah’s friend Scarlett, but Kim cannot trace them any further. In Part One, Kim tries to find out what has happened to her teenage daughter Tallulah, who is missing along with her boyfriend Zach. This means that much of the novel is non-linear, alternating back and forth until the stories eventually converge, concluding at the same point in time. Each storyline unfolds chronologically, but over different stretches of time. The novel uses the present tense and a third-person point of view, shifting its focus between the three characters on a chapter-by-chapter basis, with a few disruptions to this pattern. ![]() The Night She Disappeared follows the interrelated stories of three women: Kim (whose daughter is missing), Tallulah (the missing daughter), and Sophie (a writer who moves into their neighborhood). The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Jewell, Lisa. ![]() ![]() ![]() But in the case of her beloved Miss Marple, Christie thought Hickson would be perfect for the role after seeing her in a play and wrote her a letter saying, “I hope one day you will play my dear Miss Marple.” Hickson initially thought she wouldn’t be right for the role, but Christie eventually got her wish when the opportunity arose for Hickson to a star in the role at the age of 78. Hickson was discovered by Agatha Christie herself, 40 years prior to accepting the role of Miss Jane Marple and bringing the character to the small screen According to Christie’s grandson, the famous mystery author was never quite happy with most adaptations of her work and wasn’t a huge fan of television. The 1984 BBC version starring Joan Hickson is widely considered to be the favourite adaptation of the iconic character. ![]() ![]() The newest addition to our stellar lineup of clever and lovable female detectives is none other than Agatha Christie’s iconic spinster sleuth, Miss Marple. ![]() |
