Mad About the Hatter

De: Dakota Chase

Narrado por: Joel Froomkin

This isn't his sister's Wonderland....

Henry never believed his older sister Alice's fantastic tales about the world down the rabbit hole. When he's whisked away to the bizarre land, his best chance for escape is to ally himself with the person called the Mad Hatter. Hatter - an odd but strangely attractive fellow - just wants to avoid execution. If that means delivering "Boy Alice" to the Queen of Hearts at her Red Castle, Hatter will do what he has to do to stay alive. It doesn't matter if Henry and Hatter find each other intolerable. They're stuck with each other.

Along their journey, Henry and Hatter must confront what they've always accepted as truth. As dislike grows into tolerance and something like friendship, the young men see the chance for a closer relationship. But Wonderland is a dangerous place, and first they have to get away with their lives.

Amazing

This was definitely an interesting twist on Alice in wonderland! Loved it, great story. A must have in your Audio library

Delightful & Whimsical

This was a delight to listen to. This is the story of Alice's little brothers trip to Wonderland, and his adventures there.

Mad About the Hatter had just enough humor & whimsy to keep me entertained & interested until the end. There is the same round-a-bout word play that I remember from the original story, that made me giggle. "Well if I'm here, and you're there, then do you want to know who is here or there..."

The descriptions of the landscapes & creatures found in this Wonderland were very nicely done. I could picture what was described in all it's imaginative wondrous glory.

Joel Leslie Froomkin's performance was beyond awesome. The voices and accents he used were done very well. I can only imagine how much of a challenge the speaking backward part of the book was, but he did it amazingly well.

While this is technically a YA book, it is not juvenile & very enjoyable for an adult listener. There is a little bit of romance between Henry & The Hatter but it is understated and very sweet.

I was provided a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Good read

I enjoyed this twist to Alice in Wonderland. It was performed well and seemed to match the story.

Absolutely LOVED this!

What did you love best about Mad About the Hatter?

It is a completely different version of Alice in Wonderland. A story never told before but has characters that you know. I love the Mad Hatter and Mr Froomkin brought him to life for me.

Have you listened to any of Joel Froomkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but my mom has a lot of books he has narrated. She said I would like his voice. I love his voice. I am so happy that she found this book for me. He does the characters so well. I think he made this book come to life. I hope everyone who has read it will now get the Audio version.

The many unique features

All the colorful scenes with many of the characters, and the twist that keeps you pulled in
