From Marissa Meyer, the #1 New York Times-bestselling romantasy of Wonderland's most notorious villain: the Queen of Hearts. Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. In Heartless, her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.Author: Marissa MeyerPublisher: Feiwel & FriendsPublished: 11/08/2016Pages: 464Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.45lbsSize: 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.40dISBN: 9781250044655Age Range: 12-18Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.6Point Value: 20Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 185639 / HeartlessReview Citation(s): Booklist 08/01/2016 pg. 74School Library Journal 09/01/2016 pg. 160Publishers Weekly 09/12/2016Shelf Awareness 11/01/2016Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 11/01/2016Shelf Awareness 11/08/2016Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2017 - Below Average, With Minor FlawAbout the AuthorMarissa Meyer is the USA Today- and New York Times-bestselling author of the Lunar Chronicles: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, Fairest: Levana's Story, and Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection.
