Looking Glass Wars uses the story of "Alice and Wonderland" as a starting point for fantasy adventure. Alice actually lived in a place like wonderland. After a rebel takeover she ended up in an orphanage on earth. Nobody believed her adventures in wonderland. The author of Alice and Wonderland did believe her and offered to write her story. However, she was upset that she made it so fantastical that it was not real. Eventually, she adopted to the "normal" world. She was eventually engaged to marry a prince when she got sucked back into a battle in Wonderland. The book is fantastical tale that is continually questioning "what is real?" The author does a great job of weaving together familiar characters and events to make a very accessible fantasy work.
