Susurros (Susurros 1)

by A. G. Howard

Overview

El País de las Maravillas existe. A Alyssa Gardner las flores y los insectos le hablan. Teme que su destino sea acabar en un psiquiátrico, como su madre, pues una vena de locura recorre su familia desde tiempos de su antepasada Alicia, la niña que inspiró el País de las Maravillas de Lewis Carroll. Pero ¿y si los susurros de las flores no son alucinaciones? ¿Y si el País de las Maravillas existe y la está llamando? Alyssa descenderá por la madriguera del conejo hacia un mundo mágico, pero también despiadado. Durante su increíble aventura, tendrá que decidir en quién confiar: en Jeb, su mejor amigo, por el que siempre se ha sentido atraída, o en el fascinante y seductor Morfeo, su guía en el País de las Maravillas y con el que lleva soñando desde que era niña.

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now. When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

About the Author

A. G. Howard wrote Splintered while working at a school library. She always wondered what would’ve happened had the subtle creepiness of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland taken center stage, and she hopes her darker and funkier tribute to Carroll will inspire readers to seek out the stories that won her heart as a child. She lives in Amarillo, Texas.
