Alice and her childhood friend, Alfred, escaped the London Bombings of WWII into the underground train tunnels. Before the war, they spent their time together telling one another their version of the Alice in Wonderland story. Alice being Alice and Alfred was of course the White Rabbit. Alice and Alfred coped with the war by becoming the characters in the story, but will they be able to finish their story before Alfred’s time runs out?

This book is recommended for readers in grades 7 to 12. The vocabulary and content is above the typical Alice in Wonderland reader. Older readers will be able to see the symbolism and make the connections between the two intertwining stories. ( )
