Hatter M: The Looking Glass Wars Volume 1
Frank Beddor (2008), 176 pages
Illustrated by Ben Templesmith
Audience: 6th Grade - 8th Grade
Based on the novel series The Looking Glass Wars, this is the story of Hatter Madigan's search for Princess Alyss of Wonderland. The story is an updated adventure fantasy. Hatter is the chief of Wonderland's Millenary, and the Queen's bodyguard. When the Queen's evil sister, Redd, attacks the heart palace, Hatter is told to take Alyss through the Pool of Tears and to keep her out of Redd's reach until Alyss comes of age and can regain Wonderland. The trip through the Pool is a whirlpool. Hatter and Alyss become disconnected and end up in different parts of our world. Hatter uses his lethal hat and concealed blades to combat the forces of black imagination in his quest to find Alyss.

Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies
Carolyn Crimi (2005), 40 pages
Illustrated by John Manders
Audience: Preschool - 2nd Grade
The buccaneer bunnies who sail the Salty Carrot are bad, bad bunnies indeed. Barnacle Black Ear, the captain, is the baddest of them all, but his son Henry is a disappointment. Henry would rather read than shout, 'Shiver Me Timbers!' or make prisoners walk the plank. None of the pirates appreciate Henry's love for books until the Salty Carrot is lost in a sudden storm and they need Henry's knowledge to survive.
