i really think that tim burton based his alice in wonderland series on at least the first one. i also just recently read ms perigrine home for peculiar children and that was sort of ok. also also, if you have or havent read the enders game series, it is awesome..but there is a 20th edition of the audio books that is amazeballs. it is cased with several readers and they stay the same through out the series. i have it in my cloud if you are interested.
