Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale

Liz Braswell’s Unbirthday is a compelling and imaginative reimagining of Alice in Wonderland—a “what if” tale that asks: What if Alice was older and returned to a Wonderland in crisis? Part of Disney’s Twisted Tales series, this novel blends whimsy, darkness, and social commentary in surprising and meaningful ways.Set years after Alice’s original adventure, the story finds her at 18 years old, navigating the restrictions of Victorian society while haunted by memories (or dreams?) of Wonderland. But when she begins seeing familiar Wonderland characters in her photography—and realizes Wonderland itself is in danger—Alice is pulled back into the chaos, only to find it reflects the injustices of her real world.Braswell cleverly uses Wonderland not just as a setting, but as a metaphor. The absurdity of the Queen’s rule, the silencing of voices, and the distortion of truth mirror Alice’s growing awareness of the flaws in her own society. Through this, the book tackles themes of censorship, power, identity, and courage

really a fantastic read but the ink smear on all of the pages is terrible and makes it hard to read sometimes

It's a darker story of Alice in wonderland whereSpoilers...Alice is an 18 year old living with her parents. She has a hobby of taking pictures of people around town. She goes to visit her aunt frequently to get her pictures processed. One time she looks at the pictures after they are done and all of them are her old friends from wonderland but in terrible conditions. Basically after she left the queen of hearts went on a bloody rampage killing everyone and a resistance was set up against her with the main person against her being Mary Anne. Mary Anne somehow sent the message to Alice through the photos because of something something vague magic. So all in all it's an amazing story in my opinion but it is very dark especially for kids so I'd recommend being at least a teen before reading this

This Book was a most have Christmas gift for my niece who is in love with this series. She absolutely loves it. Well worth the price and great quality.

About half of the book seemed bent on being as dark as possible, being sure to make it seem as though Wonderland's whole purpose was to just make you question, it didn't matter the question, nor certainly the answer, it just needed to question. Then it made a spectacular comeback, showing how all the answers really were the most important, not that we necessarily need all the answers, we just have to diligently seek for them. Overall I declare it to be a good book in this series.

Very good

One in the series. A great gift to granddaughter
