Curiouser and curiouser! In this imaginative prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself at a grey, dreary boarding school that is decidedly up the rabbit hole.

From the relentless clocks to the beastly students, Alice's world is void of colour and cheer—until Alice finds a secret garden and begins tending its wilting inhabitants.

When Alice's love touches an ordinary caterpillar, a lory bird, and a white rabbit, magical things will happen—and that, as you know, is just the beginning of the story.

Filled with literary allusions and clever nods to its classic roots, Alice's Magic Garden is a delightful prequel that begs an escape to the whimsy of Wonderland.

Alice's Magic Garden is praised for its beautiful pastel illustrations that highlight the transformation of Alice's world, depicting her in colour among her monochrome classmates. The story emphasises the theme of kindness, as Alice's interactions with a rabbit, a caterpillar, and a lory bird bring familiar characters to life and promise enduring friendship, as noted by Kirkus Reviews and San Francisco Book Review.
