Inspired by her childhood love of books like A Secret Garden and The
Chronicles of Narnia, bestselling author Tahereh Mafi crafts a
spellbinding new world where color is currency, adventure is inevitable,
and friendship is found in the most unexpected places.
There are only three things that matter to twelve-year-old Alice Alexis
Queensmeadow: Mother, who wouldn't miss her; magic and color, which seem
to elude her; and Father, who always loved her. The day Father
disappears from Ferenwood he takes nothing but a ruler with him. But
it's been almost three years since then, and Alice is determined to find
him. She loves her father even more than she loves adventure, and she's
about to embark on one to find the other.
But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him she'll
have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore,
where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and
very, very wrong. It will take all of Alice's wits (and every limb she's
got) to find Father and return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her
quest to find Father, Alice must first find herself--and hold fast to
the magic of love in the face of loss.

"A place so full of enchanting beauty and topsy-turvy adventure, it
even calls to mind Wonderland and Oz.... Friendship, family and
self-acceptance. What makes this book truly sing is the lush world Mafi
has created, brimming with color and magic." --New York Times Book
