Wondrous

Timed to the 75th anniversary of Disney's enduring classic Alice in Wonderland, this young adult sequel follows teenaged Alice on a curious new adventure down the rabbit hole, many years after her first visit to Wonderland. Now eighteen, Alice feels much more comfortable spending her days in Wonderland than in the "real" world. After all, no one in Wonderland will judge you for being strange! But things in Wonderland have seemed off lately, especially when Alice encounters another teen, and then another . . . both of whom also claim to be named Alice. Before long, card soldiers capture all three Alices, and they are taken to the Queen of Hearts' castle, where a strange truth is revealed: it has been prophesied that a "blue Alice" would one day save Wonderland from terrible peril. Ever since, the White Rabbit has been opening portals to Wonderland for children dressed in blue named Alice. And now, the foretold danger has arrived: three terrifying dragons have appeared in Wonderland, from the worlds beyond the doors in Doorknob's hallway. The Queen declares that the Alice who can save Wonderland will be named "The Alice" . . . and the others will be cast out, never allowed to return. So Alice sets out on a quest to save the land she loves, meeting new friends and enemies along the way, including a strange boy who she isn't sure she can trust. Is Alice truly "The Alice," or is she just a footnote in someone else's story?
