Alyssa is descended from Alice Liddell, otherwise known as
Alice in Wonderland. The women in her
family, starting with the original Alice, have all eventually gone mad. The year that Alyssa hit puberty, she started
hearing bugs and flowers talking to her.
Afraid of what her father might think, especially since her mother has
been in an asylum since Alyssa was five, she tells no one. Now, Alyssa is about to be a senior in high
school and is coming to find out that Wonderland is all too real and she has to
fix the trouble that Alice caused during her visit to break the curse that the
women in her family have been under all of these years. I thought this was a pretty good Wonderland
spin-off, a lot darker than the original story with a little bit of a surprise
twist at the end. Recommend this to
teens that like fairy tale retellings.
