Alice nearly didn't go to the sleepover. Why would Savvy, queen of the school, invite someone like her? Now Alice is lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Lost in a wonderland of dreams and half-formed memories, she's surrounded by voices - the doctor, her worried friends and Luke, whose kisses the night of the fall took her by surprise . . . When the accident happened her world vanished - can Alice ever find her way back? A wonderful modern-day reimagining of Lewis Carroll's timeless classic, Looking Glass Girl is the stunning new book from Cathy Cassidy, an unforgettable tale of friendship and love from one of the UK's best-loved authors.

Did NOT see that coming from the cutesy-pie homage to Alice in Wonderland on the front cover!
This is essentially a story about how primary school friendships can change when you start secondary school and the bullying, isolation and intimidation that teenage girls in an all-girls school can inflict on each other. (As a product of an all girls education myself and victim of similar types of bullying it rings very true.)
Told in flashback and also through what Alice hears when she is in the coma (as well as what is actually happening) this is a very realistic look at one of the worst outcomes of bullying.
There is the mandatory boy who provides the ultimate catalyst and then the main bully and the various hangers on who have their own weaknesses and are fleshed out nicely.
I thought the ending was a bit of a fizzer although that is probably more true to real life. ( )
