Splintered by A.G. Howard
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 and the whispers
grow too strong to bear, 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.
Unless she fixes the things her great-great-great grandmother Alice put wrong, Wonderland will have her head.
