"What if Alice's Adventures in Wonderland wasn't something Lewis Carroll made up, but a history of what he saw when he actually came here?"
I will basically pick up anything related to ALICE IN WONDERLAND; fortunately there are a lot of modern retellings and expansions out there on the world created by Lewis Carroll.
This middle grade novel introduces us to Celia, a descendent of Carroll (you might also notice an interesting anagram of her name!), and her new friend Tyrus. The friends bond instantly over their individual quirks that have generally made them outcasts to their peers, and when they stumble upon the long-missing diaries of Mr. Carroll himself, choosing an adventure that takes them to actual Wonderland isn't much of a choice at all!
Author J. Scott Savage perfectly reimagines the fantastical and often nonsensical world of Wonderland with a seamlessness even Carroll would likely appreciate. Tyrus and Celia learn that their individual strengths work best in tandem: sometimes it just takes a grand adventure to find one's confidence.
