Alice's Halloween in Wonderland
Six keys. One midnight door. And a silence that knows Alice’s name.
On Halloween night, a mysterious moonlit invitation draws Alice back to Wonderland. But this Wonderland has changed. Shadows have slipped away from their owners, the Mad Hatter’s tea party is trapped at thirteen o’clock, the Cheshire Cat’s smile has forgotten its face, and the sea hangs upside down in the sky.
Behind every strange enchantment waits the Hush—a creeping darkness that offers each Wonderland character exactly what they think they want.
To return home before the thirteenth stroke, Alice must collect six enchanted keys and uncover the truth hidden inside each curse. With the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and other familiar companions beside her, she ventures through:
• A masquerade filled with wandering shadows
• A tea party where time refuses to move
• A forest of masks and borrowed faces
• The Queen of Hearts’ bewitched rose garden
• A silver sea that has forgotten how to fall
• The mysterious Midnight Door
Each key brings Alice closer to home—but also closer to the Hush and the unsettling secret it has been keeping for her.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic Wonderland characters, Alice’s Halloween in Wonderland presents six original, interconnected adventures filled with magical riddles, friendship, courage, and delightfully eerie surprises.
Perfect for readers ages 10–13 who enjoy illustrated fantasy, imaginative mysteries, classic-character retellings, and Halloween adventures that are spooky without being graphic.
