An exciting new adventure for middle graders featuring a teenage Hatter Madigan, the most popular character from the New York Times best-selling The Looking Glass Wars trilogy by Frank Beddor.
Swordplay! Arsenal cubes and blade chasers! School bullies! Self-serving rivals! Scheming adults and soulless rebel plotters! Welcome to the world of cadet Hatter Madigan, who has just entered Wonderland's Millinery Academy, where those born to protect the queendom train to become spies, assassins, and bodyguards. The co-ed world of a freshman Cap is extremely competitive, and as hard as Hatter's mystic and martial studies prove to be, they are little compared to the more difficult art of successfully dealing with others vying to be the best.
As readers of The Looking Glass Wars already know, Hatter will grow up to one day serve as bodyguard to two queens and become Wonderland's most famous traveler. But in the Hatter Madigan series - each installment of which chronicles a single year of our hero's education - readers live through the experiences that shaped this extraordinary character. Come and share Hatter's pride as he excels in combat trials and imagination workshops; empathize as he struggles with the first stirrings of love and the expectations of teachers familiar with his famous older brother; feel his excitement when he and his new friends discover that ghosts, somehow connected to the Millinery's HATBOX (Holographic and Transmutative Base of Xtremecombat), have the ability to possess the bodies of the living - a haunting that threatens all of Wonderland.
Genre: Children's Fiction
