When I was ten years old, my grandmother gave me a book for my birthday. It was Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. One evening, when I had finished my homework and had had nothing to do, I picked it up and started reading.

The story was about a girl named Alice. One afternoon, she had followed a white rabbit and had fallen into a deep hole. She landed in a strange world called Wonderland. Everything there was different from the real world—animals talked, flowers sang, and nothing made sense.

As I read, I felt like I was inside Wonderland with Alice. I imagined the big Cheshire Cat grinning at me before disappearing. The Mad Hatter asked silly riddles, and the Queen of Hearts shouted, “Off with their heads!” I had never read anything like it before.

One of my favorite parts had been when Alice had found a small bottle with a label that said, “Drink Me.” After she drank it, she became very small. Later, she ate a piece of cake and grew so tall that she couldn’t fit inside the house. I laughed because it all seemed so strange and funny.

Alice’s adventure continued with more surprises. She met the Caterpillar, who asked her confusing questions. She played croquet with the Queen, using flamingos instead of mallets. Every chapter made me more excited

When I reached the end of the book, I was shocked. Alice woke up and realized that everything had been a dream. At first, I felt a little disappointed because I had wanted Wonderland to be real. But then I thought, “Maybe dreams can be just as magical as books.”

As time passed, I found myself thinking about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland again and again. It was not just a book; it was an experience that changed the way I looked at stories. Before reading it, I had enjoyed books, but I had never felt so connected to a character before. Alice was curious, brave, and adventurous—everything I wanted to be.

A few months after I finished the book, I told my best friend about it. She had never read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, so I lent her my copy. When she returned it, she told me she had loved it too. 

We spent hours talking about our favorite parts, laughing about the strange characters, and imagining what we would do if we were in Wonderland. That was when I realized that books don’t just give us new worlds to explore; they also connect us to people in the real world.

After reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, I started looking for other books with magical worlds. I read The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and many fairy tales. Each book gave me a new adventure, but I always returned to Alice’s story. There was something special about the way she faced every strange challenge with curiosity and determination.
