When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes. Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is. Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Struths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.
It sounds really good. I think it's just the cover that puts me off this one. I keep wondering why someone has painted Nicole Kidman onto it. lol
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing...Is that supposed to be Nicole Kidman on the cover? If so why? If not why does it look like her???? but the story does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteloved this quirky book. everything (magical) but the kitchen sink is included.
