Alice in wonderland with a mission.
This is a delightful series of books full of quirks, twists, turns and banter. Cleverly written, never dull and thoroughly enjoyable. If you have longed to returned to Wonderland or are tired of the expected, look no further than this set. These books should be savored over time and not rushed through... there is just too much to soak in and savor. Each page is a fresh experience with surprises in every paragraph! If you tire of dark and/or coarse literature, this tasteful prose will banish the gloom of many of todays offerings. These books do have a somewhat complex vocabulary - which means that it is likely a read-aloud book for younger kids (a great teaching tool). For active readers the story is contextually clearly conveyed and (trust me) if anyone gets bogged down in one place, the next will be completely different.

A terrific series by a clever author.
Got these for my 10y granddaughter but I myself thoroughly enjoyed the audiobooks. Kat writes a great story!

Kids love it
I have children in upper elementary and low Junior High grades. Both of them really like these books.

Gets convoluted
I loved these books to start, but by the middle of the second they are far too convoluted to follow.

Love the story, but not the quality of the physical books.
So I read the first book from the library and instantly fell in love with the writing and the character’s. I was talking to my grandmother about how I’ve been wanting to get the book set and she just went ahead and got it for me (thanks Grandma!). I started with the second book, obviously since I had already read the first, and when I got to around page 190 the book literally just fell apart into pieces. The glue job was just absolute trash. I let my friend borrow the first book and I’m hoping the same thing didn’t happen to her, or that the next three books won’t do the same thing.

Baja calidad
Venía raspado del lomo, caja dañada.. He tenido el primer libro pero de otra editorial y no se comparan, ya que el empastado, colores de portada y calidad de las hojas dejan mucho que desear en esta versión... El costo es 50% mayor al etiquetado sin contar los impuestos.
