Splintered av A G Howard

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.

Tycker rätt bra om ursprungshistorien om Alice i Underlandet, och tyckte att denna re-telling lät intressant. Tyvärr var den inte så bra som jag skulle ha viljat, även om jag gillade berättelsen om Alyssa och hennes äventyr i Underlandet. Fast tempot i boken var lite trög. De partier jag tyckte bäst om var när Alyssa var i "vår värld" och kämpar med att inte visa att hon kan höra vad alla kryp säger, så att hon ska bli kallad psykisk sjuk som hennes mor är. Hon försöker leva ett normalt tonårsliv, men en psykisk sjuk mor.

Denna kommer även ingå i kaosutmaningen som bok nr 27 en hyllvärmare.
