This was a
Teens’ Top Ten winner in 2014 and the sequel, Unhinged, is a nominee this year. Conclusion: Teens love it and it
MUST be great. I felt this book was OK, but nothing outstanding. It does have an interesting premise, even if
not that unique: Alyssa’s, Great Great Great Grandma is Alice from Alice in Wonderland. In order to reverse
the family curse placed on the females (all with names starting with ‘A’),
Alyssa must go to Wonderland and fixes Alice’s messes. My favorite part of
reading this book was the hilarious comparisons to the original story. Some of
the characters are Rabid Rabbit, Twid sisters and Humphrey.
