(3) YA Carroll's iconic Queen of Hearts gains a dark, complex backstory. Fifteen-year-old Dinah, Princess of Wonderland, is eager to someday reign as Queen of Hearts. Her circumstances change, however, as enemies, including her cruel-hearted father, conspire against her, and she is blamed for her mad brother's murder. The reinventions of classic characters are clever, and despite foreshadowing of the future queen's villainy, Dinah remains sympathetic.
