Alice's granddaughter finds herself tumbling down the rabbit hole in this magical modern retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland--from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Whetherwhy and Pages & Co. series.

⋆"This homage sparkles. Delightful in every way."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

⋆"A cleverly constructed return to Wonderland...a winner through and through."--Booklist (starred review)

Journey back to Wonderland . . .

England, 1919. Alyce--with a Y--is sent to live with her grandmother, the original Alice, after having lost her father in war. When a mysterious invitation to a tea party hits her square in the face, Alyce realizes that her grandmother's strange stories of a place called Wonderland might have some truth to them after all.

Soon Alyce is tumbling down into Wonderland herself, but the place she finds is not the colorful world she's heard stories of, but a world trapped in its own war. The Sun King and the Queen of the Moon are fighting over a stolen hour, and soon Alyce is tasked with setting it right. With the help of the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and a Sailor Fox, Alyce will have to solve Wonderland's problems and, eventually, find her way back home.

An enchanting adventure through Wonderland, Alice with a Why is both a celebration of Lewis Carroll's beloved original story and a modern masterpiece.
