Get ready for another mind-blowing adventure from Wonderland-a story shot straight through the Pool of Tears. Wonderland's elite forces of light must unite to battle the harbinger of darkness in the unforeseeable conclusion to CROSSFIRE.

Previously...Dashing Ovid Grey, rogue, criminal and ex-Milliner, was ordered by Queen Alyss to secretly locate and retrieve a Heart Crystal shard that had been hidden on Earth and was been igniting Black Imagination across the realms. Ovid's mission was accomplished but not without some surprising twists, casualties and collateral damage for the Hearts.

Now, in UNDERFIRE, Queen Alyss solicits Ovid Grey's services once again-this time to stop a devious plot hatched by the treacherous fish people of Unterlan, a plot that threatens the future of Wonderland and all who live there. As the hierarchy in Wonderland continues to shift following the creation of the Everqueen, Alyss's hand is forced as she looks for a way to protect her Queendom and combat those who challenge her rule both at home and abroad. At great cost, she makes a difficult decision to activate a new hand in the House of Cards for a covert operation. Ovid and this special deck of card soldiers must traverse dangerous lands, fight strange new monsters and go beyond the ends of Imagination to stop Unterlan.

Can Ovid Grey stack the deck in Wonderland's favor and deal himself the perfect hand to win this war? Or will Alyss's new House of Cards topple under the relentless assault of the evil Fish People of Unterlan who wish to end her reign?

Find out in UNDERFIRE!

Frank Beddor

The Looking Glass Wars

New York Times Best-Seller for 26 weeks

2007 Ben Franklin Award for Best YA audiobook

The Looking Glass Wars, the series of bestselling novels by Frank Beddor that takes the classic 19th century children's tale off into a truly unexpected literary territory - the battlefields of epic fantasy. The LA Times

Fantastic battle scenes, plot twists, character interest and slow-burning love make this an ace read for both sexes. - Guardian

This ingenious reworking...is powerful, eventful and dark. Which is entirely legitimate, given the surreality of the original - Times of London

I think the remarkable thing about the book is it's very vibrant, it's imaginative, it's visual, it's very well researched. What Frank has done is he's interwoven the history...of Alice and then told his own extraordinary, and believably visual and fast-moving tale. - Michael Morpurgo, Children's Laureate

"A triumph of imagination." - School Library Journal

"An entertaining cross between Maguire's Wicked and Steven Spielberg's Peter Pan Movie, Hook, The Looking Glass Wars grabs the imagination and refuses to let go." - Teenreads.com

"Beddor makes ample use of Carroll-esque humor and wit." - Publishers Weekly

Seeing Redd
Seeing Redd - 2008 AudioFile Earphones Award Winner for best voice in YA

Beddor gives familiar characters new life and introduces interesting new ones ...this comes to a satisfying cliffhanger that leaves the reader looking for more." - Kirkus Reviews

"The writing is gripping, the characters are spellbinding...Seeing Redd [is] even better than The Looking Glass Wars (which was fantastic in its own right)." - momswhothink.com

ArchEnemy
This excellent and satisfying end to the trilogy is a must-have for fans of the other volumes as well as for those who enjoy Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. - School Library Journal

Hatter M: Far from Wonder
2007 Eisner Nominee, Winner Silver IPPY Award

"Ben Templesmith provides a kinetic, almost chaotic energy that makes each panel seem fit to explode...must read." IGN

Hatter is tall, steapping, a bit trigger-happy and well-deserving of his own comicbook spinoff. The Washington Examiner

Hatter M: Mad with Wonder - "Whether you're intimately familiar with the realm, or have not yet found the joys of Wonderland, HATTER M: MAD WITH WONDER is a unique take on a classic and is definitely worth checking out" Fangoria

Gold IPPY Award for best graphic novel, Drama

Hatter M: Nature of Wonder - "Madigan springs forth from the wandering-gunslinger mold with great appeal" - Booklist

Gold IPPY Award for best graphic novel, Drama

Hatter M: Zen of Wonder

"Beddor and Cavalier must have been practicing the art of Zen while writing this one, as Hatter M: Zen of Wonder fits together beautifully. The flow is excellent and perfectly timed." - Geeks of Doom

Bronze IPPY Award for best graphic novel, Drama

Hatter M: Love of Wonder
"Beddor's Looking Glass Wars novels trilogy and Hatter M comic series piece together an epic adventure approaching the works of Tolkien" - Night-Flight Comics

Silver IPPY Award for best graphic novel, Drama
