Beware of the Little White Rabbit

This book has 13 stories related to Alice in Wonderland. The stories are from different authors and they all seem to be quite original and interesting takes on the Alice in Wonderland theme.

The first story is a really good space adventure with the White Rabbit as a thief. The second story involves a Chinese girl adopted by American parents and renamed Alice. Chinese mythology is part of the story.

The third story is another science fiction one, this one about robots at war with humanity and a helpful, albeit robotic, Mad Hatter. Story four is set in the past where women weren't supposed to be interested in machines. Alice is but due to that ends up stumbling into a horror situation with clockwork devices.

The fifth story is set in 1665 during a plague and centers around rabbits, fleas and a queen. Story 6 involves bullying at school and Alice on a school field trip. Story 7 involves an alcoholic mother and a speaking white rabbit. All of these stories are quite good.

After that, for some reason, we run into stories that are relatively weak. Story 9 is about Alice taking photos and having to stay in the woods overnight with a boy. Story 10 involves dying birds in an aviary, a macaw that changes into a girl and the plague. Story 11 is about an abandoned mansion, a garden, a Roman centurion and photographs.

Fortunately story 12 get back into the good story track, this one involving Dodgson High, a Hatter that kills rabbits and the revenge of the rabbits. The last story is cute, this one about her uncle, a three foot mechanical rabbit and an attempt to help people in general.
