Author: A.G. Howard
Desc: 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.
