Synopsis

Filled with humor and adventure, this addition to the New York Times best-selling series explores a madcap prequel to Disney's Descendants: The Rise of Red, set in Wonderland.

Fall down the rabbit hole…

For Red, growing up in Wonderland has been no piece of cake (literally—dessert is outlawed). Her mom, the Queen of Hearts, rules the kingdom with an iron scepter, while Red longs for a life of her own. She’s heard rumors about an island that once housed all the villains of folklore. A place with no rules? It sounds perfect.

But then the Queen declares that Red will issue a royal decree at the annual Wonderland Tea Ceremony (aka she'll come up with new ridiculous laws). Of course, Red loathes the idea of following in her mother’s crimson-heeled footsteps. Banding together with new friends, Ace and Chester, Red plans the ultimate rebellion: a party. Little does she know that they’ll be setting off a chain of events (or un-events) that could change things forever.

I received a copy of this book for free for promotional purposes. I am such a huge Disney Descendants fan (I’ve seen all the movies and have read all the books in this series) and this book made me so excited for the new movie.

The cliffhanger?!? Is this gonna be explained in the movie? Or is it gonna be like the other books in this series where the movies don’t follow along or mention any sort of thing that happens during the books…......more

Goodreads review by Mileena on September 24, 2024

4.5/5 stars Melissa never disappoints. Although I do find this to be the weakest of the series, it’s probably due to it not having my babies the og VKs. But still this is a welcome addition to that universe that I’m glad to have read. I adore Red, Chester, and Ace. And the themes in this one were so......more

Goodreads review by Susan on June 10, 2024

What a disappointment the ending was! I was so excited to read this book because I loved the Descendants series. It was great until the very end when Red just goes along with her mother. Yes, there was a promise of more in some distant future, but I wanted Red to make a shocking decree that sent the......more
