Overview
That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didnāt show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderlandāwhere she (partly) belongs.
Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man she knows has manipulated her before? Will her mother and Jeb trust her to do whatās right? Readers will swoon over the satisfying return to Howardās bold, sensual reimagining of Carrollās classic.

Praise for Unhinged
"I really enjoyed the first book of this series, butĀ UnhingedĀ cranks the Wonderland experience up to 11. It's just ... WOW! The last few scenes dangle Alyssa's next adventure with shockers enough that I found my jaw needing a bit of assistance in coming off the floor. Write quickly, A.G. Howard! I need that next book!"
--USA Today
"Howard excels in sensory and sensuous descriptions."
--Kirkus ReviewsĀ
"As intense, dark, and weird as the first volume, this worthy sequel creates a parallel narrative that brings the action out of Wonderland and into Alyssaās hometown."
--The Bulletin of The Center for Childrenās Books
"A dark beauty fills the novel's pages, which will mesmerize teens with a taste for magic, romance or suspense. Unhinged lays the groundwork for a third book where anything could happen--it is Wonderland, after all."

STARRED REVIEW
"Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carrollās Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burtonās), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel."
āBulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale."
āUSA Today
"Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising ā a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carrollās āAliceās Adventures in Wonderland,āā with a deep bow toward Tim Burtonās 2010 film version."
āThe Boston Globe
"Itās a deft, complex metamorphosis of this childrenās fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original."
āBooklist
" Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination is superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole."
āPublishers Weekly
"While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that stray from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are indeed wonderful."
āBookPage
"Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read..."
āKirkus Reviews
"Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might be expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her true nature. The cover with its swirling tendrils and insects surrounding Alyssa will surely attract teen readers who will not disappointed with this magical, edgy tale."
āReading Today Online
"Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance."
