About the author
Tui T. Sutherland
153 books6,351 followersOkay, I know what you’re thinking. Tui? What kind of name is that? Is it short for something?
Nope. Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord of the Rings movies, cats that paint, my mom) is a bird called the tui—not as well known as the kiwi, but a heck of a lot noisier!
I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay; Miami, Florida; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre—mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. (Er, I mean . . . because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.)
I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!).
Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing.
My first two official books were beginning readers, part of Grosset & Dunlap’s “First Friends” series for kids learning to read. MEET MO AND ELLA is tough to find now, but FUN WITH MO AND ELLA should still be out there somewhere.
My first novel for teenagers was THIS MUST BE LOVE, which retells Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream in a modern-day high school, from the POV of the two heroines, Hermia and Helena.
And now I'm writing in a new project called SEEKERS! It's a children's book series that I'm writing with Erin Hunter. Check out my blog to find out more!

What can I say about a classic that hasn’t already been said? Even tho this was a condensed version it was still just like the original
December 27, 2022
I absolutely love the movie and I love how this book mirrors the movie almost exactly! Such a great read for any Alice in Wonderland lover!

So cute! Especially the ending :)
September 19, 2019
Does it ever happen to you? That you really wanna watch a movie? That you're really curious to discover what they did to your precious Wonderland? But that for some reason, you end up never actually watching said movie? That you have no idea why not, but that the time never seems right or that there are other things to watch, to do, to read? That happened to me and this movie. But a week ago I saw the book based on the second movie in a store in Amsterdam and I also had to get the first one.
And the story was a very pleasant and nice surprise. I still haven't seen the movie, so I really discovered it without knowing anything about it, and I really loved and enjoyed it a lot. Wonderland feels very much like a Wonderland, even though things have changed. I loved the nods and winks and references concerning the original story and I loved how Alice, and with her also the other characters, have in a way grown up (and have in a way not grown up at all..) and yet they don't feel very different.
The characters are still nuts and mad and completely bonkers, but Wonderland wouldn't be the same without it. And Alice is still Alice. On the one hand she's different from how a girl in her time should be, in a way she also doesn't completely fit into Wonderland, with her manners and her sense of logic. I love how Alice slowly grew back into her childlike curious and brave self during the story and how her love for the world and its characters came back.
Because for me that was the real plot. Of course there is this storyline with the red queen having the entire kingdom under her tyrant thumb, and of course we have Alice who has to save Wonderland, but to do that she mostly has to grow into the best version of herself she can be. She has to earn back her confidence, her imagination and her childlike wonder. And how she does that and how the Wonderland characters, in their own way, help her with that was just lovely.
I can't wait to dive into the sequel. I'm really curious what they did to that one!

Il libro del film 'Alice in wonderland': mi è piaciuto leggerlo anche conoscendo bene il film (tra i miei preferiti), avevo anche bisogno di una lettura piacevole e scorrevole e questo libro è stato adatto.

i love everything alice in wonderland related
September 29, 2023
Light and easy read. I love how the story had invited me to step into Alice’s adventures that were filled with curious characters and bizarre scenarios. 🌿When I think of it now, Alice had actually thought me that I used to grow up as a young and innocent girl like her. 👧🏻 We tend to imagine that life is full with beauties🌹but the reality is life can actually be cruel🥀.

Le livre est super, il permet de voir toute l'histoire et d'être plongé dedans.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland
Young Alice awakes from a nightmare. She finds her father in the study speaking to a bunch of disbelieving men. He’s speaking passionately about opening trading posts in exotic places. He sees her and leads her back to bed. He listens to her tell him about the creatures in her dream (a dodo bird, a rabbit in a waistcoat, a smiling cat, and a blue caterpillar). Alice worries that she’s going mad, but her Dad assures her that all the best people are. He tells her that it was just a dream, but if it gets to scary she can always wake up.
10 Years Later
Alice finds herself at a party thrown by Lady and Lord Ascot. Only to find out that the party is meant to be her engagement party to their dull son Hamish. (Her father is now deceased and Lord Ascot has taken over his company). While talking to Lady Ascot about her son’s diet, she spots a white rabbit. She tries to follow it, but finds only her aunt Imogen lost in a fantasy about “her fiancée”. She also finds her sister’s husband Lowell kissing another woman. Hamish finally corners her and gets his proposal out. Alice becomes flustered, sees the white rabbit again, says she needs a moment and then takes off running after the rabbit. The rabbit yanks her by the ankle down a rabbit hole and she finds herself falling.
After what feels like ages, she lands and finds herself in a round hall with many locked doors. Alice spots a table with a small key on top. Behind a curtain is a door that fits the key’s size. Alice now sees a bottle labeled “DRINK ME” which shrinks her to 2 inches tall. But she’s left the key on the table. Under the table she finds a box with a cake that causes her to grow. Eating a little and sipping a little, she works out the right size to go through the door into a garden. All the while, she’s been watched. Some wondering if she is the *right* Alice.
Wonderland is now dismal, the grounds are overgrown and brown, and the flowers are droopy. Alice is re-introduced to the White Rabbit, the Dodo Bird, Tweedle Dee and Dum, and the Doormouse. They take her to Absolum who shows her that she’s destined to defeat the Jabberwocky long ago. Absolem makes his decision that this isn’t the right Alice. Alice tries to wake up from this dream, but out of no where she and the others are pursued by a Bandersnatch and a crew of the Red Queen’s knights. All the animals are captured by the Red Knights. Still thinking she’s dreaming, Alice attempts to stand up to the Bandersnatch, but when this doesn’t work the Door mouse comes to her rescue by sticking its needle in the Bandersnatch’s eye (and dislodging its eye). The Tweedles find Alice and try to pull her into the direction of a path with two directions “QUEST” and “SNUD”. But a JU-JU Bird comes and carries the Tweedles away.
The Red Queen is in her castle enraged that someone stole her tarts. When finding the right frog she has him executed. Her right-hand man Stayne informs her that on Frabjous Day, Alice will slay the Jabberwocky. This sends her into another rage and she orders Alice be found and brought to her. The Knave makes a deal with Bayard (a hunting dog) that if he tracks Alice, he and his family will go free. Alice encounters the Cheshire Cat who heals the scratch left by the Bandersnatch and he says he’ll take her to the Hare and the Hatter.
The Hatter, The Hare, and the Doormouse are all having a tea party. The Hatter is the most pleased of all to see Alice. Now they can get on with Frajous Day and take down the bloody big head (the Red Queen). But the Knave and his men arrive, forcing the Hatter to shrink Alice again and stick her in a teapot. Since Bayard is on their side, he leads the Knave and Knights on a false trail. After they leave its decided that the Hatter will take Alice to the White Queen for safety.
On the way there, the Hatter tells Alice about a celebration for the White Knight, where the Jabberwocky suddenly appeared and killed his clan -the Hardtops-. He was the only one that survived. Two of the Red Knights stop him and he sends Alice off to the White Queen’s castle. The Hatter gets taken to the Red Queen. Alice finds a way to sneak into the garden where she sees a game of croquet being played by the Red Queen with hedgehogs and flamingos. She tries to set the hedgehog free and sees the White Rabbit again (who's now a judge). He gives her more cake which shoots her up to giant proportions. This causes her to burst out of her clothes and catch the attention of the Red Queen.
The Queen decides Um (Alice) will be her new favorite. Inside the castle, she again sees Twiddle Dee and Dum (the Queen’s new “Fat Boys”) and the Hatter. The Hatter distracts the Queen’s questions about Alice by flattering her large head by saying he’d like to design a hat for it. Bayard finds the White Queen and alerts her that Alice is back in the Underland. He apologizes for leading her off the path, but the White Queen says she’s where the Vorpal Sword is. Alice visits the Hatter and he tells her that she must find the Vorpal Sword. The twins lead her to the White Rabbit who knows where the sword is kept.
The sword is being guarded by the Bandersnatch. Alice is able to get its eye from the Doormouse and return it. She spots a trunk, but it’s locked. Then the pain of the scratch it left and her exhaustion kick in and she blacks out in the stables. When Alice comes to she’s face to face with the Bandersnatch. He heals her. She takes the key from around its neck and gets the sword. She goes back to save the Hatter, but he tells her not to use the sword on him. He directs her to go to the Whtie Queen. The Knave orders Alice seized after telling the Queen Alice came on to him. Actually, he was the one that came on to Alice. With the help of the Bandersnatch, Alice escapes and meets the White Queen who helps her get back to the right size. The Hatter is scheduled to have an execution but does a switch with the Cheshire. In the chaos of calling out the fakes in the Queen’s court, the Hatter, Rabbit, Bloodhound, Doormouse, and all the others escape. Alice finally steps up and accepts her role as the Jabberwocky slayer. She does exactly that. The Red Knights turn their allegiances from the Red Queen. The Queen and Stayne as banished. Stayne tries to stab the Red Queen and then himself. He pleads with the White Queen to kill him but she has no mercy. Alice returns to the party, gives everyone some truths, and she and Lord Ascot carry out her father’s plans. She opens a trading post in China.
My Thoughts: Doesn’t it amuse you (readers) when a non-reader looks at what you reading and says “Why don’t you just watch the movie?” which is what a family member told me when he saw I was reading this. I thought about it since I do have this movie and I still might. But I don’t *have* to because even though I hadn’t seen the movie in a while, just by reading this adaptation I could almost *see* what happened in the movie. And to me that means the transformation from images to words held up. This version was somewhat a re-telling. I had some confusion over the Orriculum showing Alice killing the Jabberwocky because I thought it *was* from the past. The Jabberwocky even says *so we meet again*. But if it wasn’t Alice who fought the Jabberwocky then who did? In this account of it (it) doesn’t even sound like the White Knight got a swing in before he was killed. But that was the only hole in the story I stumbled over. It was an easy read, I’m just not sure I liked this version more than some of the older ones I’ve seen.

This was really fun and a nice way to experience the story. I definitely prefer this version to the original version of Alice in Wonderland. This is way more fun and has a lot more going on, and way less confusing than the classic.

This remade of the Alice's classic story was a really nice read.
It was awesome to travel to this 'Wonderland' and watch it through Alice's eyes. Everytime some new character was presented I thought 'wow, this is my favourite'. From the Mad Hatter, to the March Hare, the Dormouse, the Cheshire Cat or Absolem... it's impossible to don't be amused by them (even the Queen of Hearts!).
I really enjoyed to 'live this dream' with Alice and her friends. I think this book gives us a really important message about how everything is possible when we believe it is. A true lesson about hilarity, joy for life and self confidence.

I loved this book almost as much as the film.
Even tho I watched the film first I still managed to create my own images for all the characters and in my mind they were darker.
I found that the book give the story of the film that little more depth and more time to get to know the characters and follow there devolpments with each other better.
I also got a better idea of the dark world of underland and again found it easy to picture how I tought it was.
This book was the perfect companion to the film and I enjoyed both

Because I love 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll and since Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' is coming out soon, I couldn't resist buying this book. I had hoped it would be very entertaining, and I was right. It is much different than Lewis Carroll's version. It is original and exciting. I don't want to give away details, it might ruin it for anyone who wants to read it. I will say this though...if you are on the fence about reading it, go for it. I did and was not disappointed. I still can't wait for the movie.

E' solo un sogno...
Caduti nella tana del Bianconiglio,incontrati i fiori parlanti e i bruchi che fumano,assaggiato torte che fanno diventare grandi come alberi e intrugli che fanno diventare piccoli come topolini,bè,non resta che tornare a casa...Tenendosi quella strana sensazione che,anche se è impossibile,tutto sia accaduto davvero...Che siamo stati eroine ed eroi dei nostri sogni,che abbiamo battuto i nostri incubi con un colpo netto di spada..E che tutto questo possa ancora accadere...Basta solo volerlo...
Ci voglio cadere anche io nella tana del coniglio Bianco!!!

I Love this book so much. This is probably my favorite story. This story is about a girl named Alice who falls down down down the rabbit hole. And she is awaken in this new world, wonderland. When she is in wonderland she meets many new people. Like the mad hatter who ends up being a good friend. The cheshire cat, Alice has a love hate relationship with him. The Queen of Hearts, who tries to kill Alice not once but several times. And then there is the caterpillar who pushes Alice to become her true self.

A very fun & quick read!
I'm a big fan of the original story by Lewis Carroll, the Disney childrens movie and the Tim Burton movie so this was perfect for me!
It's pretty much the same story as the Tim Burton movie, so if you liked that and are in the mood for that story I would recommend reading this book. (but if you didn’t like that movie (and/or the original Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) you might want to skip it..)

This was a wonderful book. I am very excited about the movie and if the movie is anything like the book (which it more than likely will be) is going to be awesome. All the characters were fantastical but human enough you felt for them and you connected with them. I really enjoyed learning more of the back story to some of the wonderlands characters.

La novela de la película, que decir de eso?
Podría estar mejor, pero la verdad, dentro de cualquier adaptación, una de este estilo me cae mucho mas simpática que lo que normalmente hacen con los libros el 90% o 95% de las películas. Está muy resumida (comparada con la peli), pero supongo que para un chico está mas que bien.

My father-in-law quotes this book regularly, so I had to re-read it to know when.
We will read this aloud to my son when he's just a bit older. It's fun. I can't stop thinking of Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen. She was well cast.
