Amber (The Literary Phoenix)

I love this story, more as an adult than I did as a kid. I love the variety of characters and I sort of love that a century and a half ago, Wonderland was the place school children would dream of going, much like Hogwarts is to my generation. It's such a fun, fast-paced, creative story and Alice is the most wonderful child. She's so well balanced, both polite and grumpy, and she carries the book. All y'all in love with Hatter and the Cheshire Cat? That's thanks to Disney's itinerations... Alice carries the original story.
What I love most, though, is that this novel never gets old. Every time, there are new details to be discovered. It's good in any format (Scarlett Johnasson's reading is the best audiobook edition!) and it absolutely inspires to build bigger worlds and be more creative in my own writing and in my own life.
Simply put, I love Alice and all her adventures.
