Alice fell first, but she wasn’t the only one.
When Ada arrives to visit her eccentric friend, she’s just in time to miss the chaos. One wrong step later, and she’s tumbling down the same rabbit-hole into a Wonderland that’s less charming whimsy, more metaphysical fever dream.
In this surreal, sideways sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Gregory Maguire reimagines the story not through Alice’s eyes, but Ada’s. Prim, awkward, and slightly asthmatic, Ada isn’t built for Wonderland’s logic-defying nonsense, but she’s determined to bring Alice back.
Back in Victorian Oxford, whispers swirl, decorum frays, and grown-ups scramble to explain the inexplicable.
What if Wonderland isn’t just nonsense and riddles? What if it’s a mirror? And what if both girls are changed for good, whether they escape or not?
