About this audiobook

Step through the looking glass. Slay the Jabberwock. Seek the King.

Alice is not prepared to face what awaits beyond the Tulgey Wood. When she and the rest of Team Heart enter the fourth and final Wonderland Trial, it’s up to her to lead them to victory. But this Trial is more than a game. If Alice and the others fail to defeat the Jabberwock and reveal the truth about Wonderland, more than points and fame will be lost.

Chess Shire never believed he’d make it this far. Now he’s stuck navigating a Trial he’s seen but doesn’t remember, all while searching for the brother he left behind. Not everything is as black and white as the game that shares his name. And if Alice discovers his deepest regret? Chess might just lose her too.

Apart, Chess and Alice scour the eight squares of the Heart Trial in search of memories, truth, and an Ivory King who seems more illusion than reality. Will they learn to lead together to face their greatest fears? Or will they remain pawns in a queen’s game, never truly seeing the Wonderland they’ve come to believe in?

Ratings and reviews

What an amazing ending to The Curious Realities series! Just when you think things couldn’t get any more topsy turvy, they do. The Looking-Glass Illusion picks up right where The Wonderland Trials left off, & definitely shouldn’t be read without reading the first book. Prepare for a wild, at times confusing ride as Alice & Chess enter the fourth & final trial. It’s a creative, action-packed dystopian fantasy, with a hint of romance, danger, adventure, & all the clever nods to Alice in Wonderland
