This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a
mystical under-land, as well as a girl's 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 Carroll's Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland.

Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it
together.
For now. When her mother's 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 Alice's
tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a
vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's 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.
