Beyond the Isle of the Lost — Melissa de la Cruz

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 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.
