We all loved Alice in Wonderland.
In THE OUTERLANDS, a YA novel by Jared R. Lopatin, Wonderland gets a twist.
It's intense and utterly whimsical!
Look out for THE OUTERLANDS, releasing on March 31, 2015!
Take a look at the gorgeous cover below. It's designed by the awesome Kathryn Allen Ferguson & Aaron Schaff.
Alex didn’t want to die, but he just couldn’t take it anymore. Dwight’s pills seemed to promise escape… and escape is exactly what he gets. He ends up in a world reminiscent of his childhood Wonderland, but nothing is as it was in Alice’s day. The Outerlands are a twisted version of his favorite story, with strange characters and unnatural dangers. Before he can get used to his new home, it’s threatened by an outside force. Will Alex ever find a place where he feels safe?
