STARRED REVIEW
"Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll's Alice in all her
revisionings (especially Tim Burton's), will find a lot to love in this
compelling and imaginative novel."
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
*"*Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a
while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly
romantic tale."
--USA Today
"Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising --
a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland, '' with a deep bow toward Tim Burton's 2010 film version."
--The Boston Globe
"It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made more
enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and
more mad violence than its original."
--Booklist
" Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination is
superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its
hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and
creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole."
--Publishers Weekly
"While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa
drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that stray
from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are
indeed wonderful."
--BookPage
"Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read..."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might be
expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her true
nature. The cover with its swirling tendrils and insects surrounding
Alyssa will surely attract teen readers who will not disappointed with
this magical, edgy tale."
--Reading Today Online
"Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance."
--School Library Journal
