Now Alice is lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

When the accident happened her world vanished – can Alice ever find her way back?
Welcome to day 8 of NaBloPoMo, and I haven’t missed a day yet! This is the first review of the month, however.
Re-imaginings are always difficult to get right, and people tend to have a love/hate relationship with them. But I have to say, Cathy got it spot on!
This book was utterly captivating. Even for me, who has been in a reading slump for months that I rarely appear to get out of…this one pulled me out, if only for a day. Yes, I said a day. I sped through those 275 pages quicker than I expected!
I love the casual twists and turns this book took, and the hint of Wonderland wasn’t too heavy throughout. It headed in the perfect direction, interweaving a teenage friendship with the fantasy world of Wonderland.
I also loved the fact that this book closely followed a difficult friendship, and didn’t include too much romance. The hint was more than enough, and gave the book a unique feel.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book! It was so intriguing and heartwarming at the same time – showing the strength of true friends. A really great read and one I’d definitely recommend for 9+, but teenagers too!
