After returning from Wonderland, Celia and Tyrus journey to the
Looking-Glass World to reclaim their mirror images and stop a war
between two powerful queens.
When a dark creature called the Bandersnatch steals Lewis Carroll's lost
diaries, Celia and Tyrus try to get it back but are tricked into passing
through a magic mirror into the Looking-Glass World, a place where
everything--themselves included--are divided in two, like identical
twins. Celia's astute logic and Tyrus's exceptional imagination now
belong to their mirror images, Lia and Ty, who are generals in the Red
Queen's Army, which is at war against the White Kingdom.
Left without their greatest problem-solving skills, Celia and Tyrus must
rely on each other more than ever as they play a massive game of chess
to try to catch their mirror images, who always seem to be one step
ahead of them. Along the way, they engage in a rhyming battle with
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, seek advice from Humpty and Dumpty, and
learn how to believe in the impossible from the White Queen, who
remembers the future as if it were the past.
As the final battle draws near, Celia and Tyrus form an uneasy alliance
with Lia and Ty in order to find the legendary vorpal sword--the only
weapon powerful enough to stop the war. If they fail, not only will two
kingdoms be destroyed, but Celia and Tyrus might never regain their
stolen talents and be trapped in the Looking-Glass World forever.
