The 10th installment in the New York Times best-selling A TWISTED
TALE series asks: What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very,
very late?
Alice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which
is perfectly fine with her. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with
her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her
sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a
"respectable" member of society. Alice is happy to meander to Miss Yao's
teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She's also
interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but
just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and
charming.
But when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town,
familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual
subjects--the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. There's
something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. And as
Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of
all--a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice's help. Mary
Ann.
Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds
herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical rule and to
find her place in both worlds. But will she able to do so . . . before
the End of Time?
