Alice Kingston is a Dreamwalker: fighting nightmares in Wonderland before they
can cross the veil into the human world. Her mission began the night her father
died and she was saved from a Nightmare that crossed over by Addison Hatta. Addison's job is to find people like Alice and train them to fight the
Nightmares. For Alice, it isn’t so much the fighting that is challenging, but
that her mother watches her like a hawk. When a mysterious person shows up
claiming to be The Black Knight and poisons Addison, Alice finds herself on a
life or death adventure to save him.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland mixed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this book,
which is the first in a series, is one you’re likely to love or hate. Fans of
Alice and her Wonderland adventures will love the Wonderland setting and nods
to the original story. While some references may be lost on those unfamiliar
with it, the story itself will be unaffected. This Alice is a rebellious, kick-butt,
strong-willed black girl whom readers will root for.
