And now, because of the havoc Alice caused in Wonderland over a century ago, Alyssa’s family is cursed. Turns out, Alice’s adventures were (more or less) true. Then everything Alyssa ever believed about herself and her family is flipped upside down.
At sixteen, Alyssa’s not ready to end up in a padded cell of her own, so she keeps the voices to herself and chooses to ignore them. After all, teenage girls aren’t supposed to hear the constant, dire whisperings of plants and insects. She’s the target of jokes at school and secretly terrified she will end up just like her mom given her strange dreams and those pesky voices she hears, it’s no wonder.
Case in point: Alyssa’s mother is in a mental ward, and her grandmother killed herself by jumping out a window in a misguided attempt to fly. Alyssa grew up knowing that she is a descendant of Alice Liddell-the girl who inspired Lewis Carroll’s classic-and that the women in her family all eventually go crazy.
