Beddor should read, but let's just leave it that Alyss will probably not become a neurosurgeon. King Nolan? This is only slightly a tougher name than Lord Poodlepants. Casting Lewis Carroll himself in the book as a bumbling, nervous idiot is just poor form. If you're going to write a metafiction (which is perhaps putting lipstick on the Looking Glass Wars pig), you certainly owe a certain reverence, or even just a bit of politeness, to the source material. Beddor is just straight-up mean-spirited. I cannot think of enough negative things to say about this book.įirst, I have to admit something: I've never even read any of Lewis Carroll's books. Then I realized: what might I be giving my students? So I read it.

So, I'd heard of this book before, and when I saw it in the bin marked "free" at my old library, I kind of thought I might put it in my middle school classroom for students to read.
