gonna try again:

short story - "Lady or Tiger"?

I don't remember the author, I remember reading it in like, 7th grade.

Nope.

Here's a clue:

This beloved book is a SEQUEL to another book on this list. Which ... I think you might have already guessed.

Ack... I knew this sounded familar. This is from Through the Looking Glass. (thanks for the hint on the post from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...)

Yes - this is Thru the looking glass. (I think it has to do with the dream: was the Red King dreaming of Alice or was Alice dreaming of the Red King - something like that)

I thought it was "Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Treasure Hunt". But I guess the upside down answer is really the last line.

I really wish I'd got here earlier to guess this. It just so perfectly encapsulates the whole book.
