Synopsis
Rejected from prim, proper, polite society, wild-child ElizabethAnn and her hot-rod-driving Grandma find a dystopian world to take them in, but can they uncover its hidden truths before it's too late?
With a nod to Lewis Carroll, this novel pairs curious children and talking animals with dark romance and an ancient land of techno-magical wonders. It is a tale of self-discovery amidst fantastical worlds, where each new encounter magnifies a looming threat.
