"I steal for a living--I never chose to live this way. But since I was born into this life, I have no other choice. Even though what I do is not always the right thing..." Kat is a rebel, born into the underclass, unlucky individuals living amongst the streets of Queens in New York. They call them the "destitute". Just 'dest' for short -- or as the popular term is, "the dusts". The city is divided into two categories: the dusts and the billionaires. Manhattan, especially the Upper East Side control the wealth of the city. From popular CEO's like James Dimon from J.P. Morgan to famous celebrities and actors like the heartthrob Chase Ashford, these people own almost every single business leaving little to nothing for the destitute. Now I'm Kat, I'm what most people would refer to me as a "dust". That's why... we steal. We steal from the rich, the ones who have extra, more than enough. The greedy, the despicable and selfish individuals. But what happens when I get caught? Get caught breaking, entering and stealing from the one and only greedy, selfish, ego-inflated billionaire... Chase Ashford. © 2014 - bookworm3650 - All Rights Reserved **WATCH THE TRAILER FOR THE BILLIONAIRE BATTLE ---->**

"Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May (4 May), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on 4 November (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess.
