All Alice Liddell wants is to escape her Normal life in Oxford and find the parents who abandoned her ten years ago. But she gets more than she bargained for when her older sister Charlotte is arrested for having the infamous Wonder Gene—the key to unlocking the curious Wonderland Reality.
Soon, Alice receives a rather cryptic invitation to play for Team Heart in this year’s annual—and often deadly—Wonderland Trials. Now she has less than twenty-four hours to find her way into Wonderland where nothing is impossible . . . or what it seems.
The stakes are raised when she discovers players go missing during the Trials each year. Will she and her team solve the clues and find the missing players? Or will betrayal and distrust win, leaving Alice alone in a world of her own? Follow the White Rabbit into this topsy-turvy fantasy where players become prey, a sip of the wrong tea might as well be poison, and a queen’s ways do not always lead one where they ought to go."

***
This book truly puts your imagination to the test! It’s going to flip you & flop you, and you’re really never going to know which way is up.
So it’s a PERFECT Alice in Wonderland reimagining!!!
I’ll be honest this book took my mind a bit of work to get wrap around since I actually don’t see anything when I read. So if you can see and truly imagine all the things when you read this book is going to be a TREAT for you!!
The first book in a “fantasy” is normally full of world building, and we definitely got that from this book! Sara did a wonderful job setting up our Urban Wonderland fantasy world! And the Trials!! 👋 OH I LOVED THIS ASPECT!!
I loved getting to know the “cards” that make up team Heart and I CAAAANNNNOOOOTTTT wait for book 2 to get to know them better and learn all their secrets.
Alice was not my favorite leading lady. But I am very hopeful she grows in book 2, and I’ll be able to really cheer her on!
Chess…oh my sweet Chess! I just love him! And I’m praying Sara keeps him safe. 😜
I can’t say to much else because I don’t want to spoiler anything, but my mind is topsy turvy trying to piece together all the of the clues and puzzles bits we got. Book 2 is going to be FAB-STINKIN’-TASTIC!
4/5 stars
