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.
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.

Agnes: Falling for you!! Wiho, som jag längtat efter den här boken. Hoppas, hoppas den är lika bra som Schroeders tidigare böcker! Är också väldigt nyfiken på Splintered, Annabel och The Essence.
Frida: Splintered! Har längtat riktigt mycket efter den. Låter hur bra som helst och jag älskar omtolkningar så det kan ju bara inte bli fel. Är dessutom väldigt nyfiken på Falling for you eftersom Schroeder skriver så otroligt fint. Altered och The Essence hamnar också på min att-läsa-lista.
Finast omslag

Frida: Splintered! Tycker att omslaget är superfint. Tycker även mycket om omslaget till The Essence.
