Beddor, Frank Archenemy, 370 p. Dial (Penguin), 2009. $17.99.
Violence: PG (battle scenes).
Though Alyss and the Wonderlandes think that Redd and Arch have been sent packing after the defeat of their plan to destroy the Heart Crystal, neither enemy is actually down for the count. Both of Wonderland’s enemies have dastardly plans for the country – plans that will send Alyss back to her London home, maybe forever. Dodge, Hatter, Molly and a host of other characters will have to rally all of their courage if they have even the slightest chance of saving Wonderland and Alyss.
You can so tell that Beddor has movies in his background, but Archenemy reads like a wonderfully scripted film. The characters, settings and everything else are easy to imagine and the action works well from scene to scene. Make sure you have enough copies of this one on hand.
