In fact, the story has been told and retold so many times, isn't it possible that the original story has changed over time? That is what author Frank Beddor explores in his trilogy, The Looking Glass Wars. (Check out The Annotated Alice for details on the inspiration behind the book!) Since the original publication in 1865, it has inspired art, music, books, and multiple film adaptations. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are very popular children's novels, and are full of images and stories that delight children and adults alike.
But, going further back, we see the re-make of Alice in Wonderland from 2010. Recently, Disney has been re-making some of their classic stories, Cinderella and Maleficent being the newest. Interesting facts about the author: She's obsessed with all things Disney, she once had a crayfish named Harry as a pet, and her favorite book is Charlotte's Web. When the king who rules them falls ill, however, it's up to Coe to find answers to secrets long buried and to find a way to save everyone before the waters swallow them all whole. Coe, the one-handed teenage protagonist, has always felt unwelcome among and reviled by her people. Her books have been translated and published in Germany, Italy, and Hungary.ĭROWNED is an unusual post-apocalyptic book (the first in a series) that takes place on an island where the tides routinely swallow up the land, and the only thing that saves the inhabitants is the creaky wooden platform they must stand on for hours at a time until the tides recede. Originally from New Jersey but now in Pennsylvania, Balog has written a number of paranormal and post-apocalyptic young adult novels, including FAIRY TALE (2009) and DROWNED (2014). Up first is Cyn Balog, who also writes under the name Nichola Reilly. Leading up to the It's All Write Teen Short Story Contest celebration on June 7 (mark that on your calendar!), we'll be posting information about the judges who have the difficult task of choosing the top three contenders in each grade.
