librarianryan 's review for:

Rabbit Chase by Elizabeth LaPensée
1.5
challenging slow-paced

This is a retelling of Alice in Wonderland.  It is supposed to convey the history of a specific indigenous tribe but that story is so lost.  There is so many indigenous words with no explanation within the story.  luckily there’s a glossary in the back.  You also have a little bit of the main character coming out or revealing their non-binary and I don’t get why that’s important to the story because it seems like it’s thrown in their as an extra thing rather than as an important function to the story. This book just feels all over the place it’s hard to understand,  and hard to follow.  The reader gets the feel of Alice in wonderland and its  familiar looking glass, but  I’m sorry this is a broken looking glass.
