This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land as well as a girls pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers--precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carrolls Alices Adventures in Wonderland." Alyssa might be crazy but she manages to keep it together. For now. When her mothers mental health takes a turn for the worse Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There Alyssa must pass a series of tests including draining an ocean of Alices tears
waking the slumbering tea party and subduing a vicious bandersnatch to fix Alices mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb her gorgeous best friend and secret crush or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus her guide through Wonderland who may have dark motives of his own.
