What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late? Now in a deluxe paperback edition featuring gorgeous printed edges! Fall down the rabbit hole in this tale inspired by Alice in Wonderland, from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films.
Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. She’d rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian’s lively salon, ignoring her sister’s insistence that she stop all that “nonsense” and become a “respectable” member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss. Yao’s teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She’s also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she’s curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.
    But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, eerily familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects—the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all—a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice’s help. Mary Ann. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts’ tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before the End of Time?

She is also the author of Stuffed, Stuffed 2: Into Darkness, and many Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, Part of Your World, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, What Once Was Mine, and Adventure Is Out There!
