What this book is about
Alyssa Gardner is a descendant of the real Alice Liddell—and her family has been cursed with madness for generations. She can hear plants and bugs speaking. To break the curse, she must go to Wonderland—a dark, grotesque place nothing like the fairy tale. Splintered is one of the most beloved dark Alice in Wonderland retellings in YA.
