Splintered is one of the many young adult spin-off books that appealed to me so I bought myself a copy, added it to my (already immense) TBR pile and it sat there for a while until I found myself some serious reading time. This influence stayed with me for many years but last year it was time to give Alice a chance. I think the story would have scared me when I was little but I really enjoyed meeting feisty, independent, girl-power Alice as an adult. The story had scared my Mum when she was young so it was a book that she never encouraged me to read. When I was little I never got around to reading Alice in Wonderland, despite having a huge love of books and the ability to devour the shelves of my local and school libraries. Last year, the 150th anniversary year of Alice in Wonderland, I researched the history of Alice, different editions of the books and more recent spin-off stories, to make an Alice feature window display and dedicated section in the bookshop.
