"O Coelho Branco, o Chapeleiro Maluco, o Gato, a Lagarta, a Rainha de Copas... Todos eles estão de volta, e desta vez o assunto é sério. Alyssa precisa enfrentá-los para salvar as mulheres da sua família de uma terrível maldição. Neste romance fantástico e surpreendente, a realidade pode ser muito mais perturbadora do que os sonhos. Alyssa Gardner ouve os pensamentos das plantas e animais. Por enquanto ela consegue esconder as alucinações, mas já conhece o seu destino: terminará num sanatório como sua mãe. A insanidade faz parte da família desde que a sua tataravó, Alice Liddell, falava a Lewis Carroll sobre os seus estranhos sonhos, inspirando-o a escrever o clássico "Alice no País das Maravilhas". Mas talvez ela não seja louca. E talvez as histórias de Carroll não sejam tão fantasiosas quanto possam parecer. Para quebrar a maldição da loucura na família, Alyssa precisa entrar na toca do coelho e consertar alguns erros cometidos no País das Maravilhas, um lugar repleto de seres estranhos com intenções não reveladas. Alyssa leva consigo o seu amigo da vida real ¿ o superprotetor Jeb ¿, mas, assim que a jornada começa, ela se vê dividida entre a sensatez deste e a magia perigosa e encantadora de Morfeu, o seu guia no País das Maravilhas. Ninguém é o que parece no País das Maravilhas. Nem mesmo Alyssa.

Lyra, the silent princess of daylight, must find a way to make noise and pass a series of tests to stop a pretender from stealing her betrothed prince and crown.

The third book in the steamy, fantastical Alice in Wonderland-inspired Splintered series.

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. 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.

Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale."e; -USA Today "e;Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising - a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll's "e;Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,'' with a deep bow toward Tim Burton's 2010 film version."e; -The Boston Globe "e;It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original."e; -Booklist "e; Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination is superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole."e; -Publishers Weekly "e;While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that stray from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are indeed wonderful."e; -BookPage "e;Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read..."e; -Kirkus Reviews "e;Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might be expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her true nature.
