Alice is a skilled pre-teen secret agent, but when she joins the forces of Wonderland, she's in over her head. Nothing they do makes sense! Mr. White, the new boss, is always running late for something. Maddie makes wacky gadgets and hats but stops for tea every hour. And Alice's new partner, Kitty, literally disappears during their mission training. How can Alice sneak into the evil Queenie Hearts's garden party and stop her top-secret, world-ending plan amid all this madness?

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" began as a story told by Englishman Charles Lutwidge Dodgson to three children in a boat, one of which was called Alice and enjoyed it so much she asked him to write it down for her. He did so, under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. He was thus releasing a striking tale of fantasy, games with logic, and a wildly original play on narrative structure. Today, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is the sixth best-selling single-volume book of all time.

Alice in Wonderland is the timeless story of a curious young girl who follows a white rabbit into a world that makes no sense and yet feels strangely familiar. In this dreamlike place, nothing stays steady for long. Alice grows taller, then smaller. She meets creatures who talk in riddles, argue about everything, and change their minds without warning. As she moves from one strange encounter to another—the grinning Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter’s tea table, the Queen of Hearts shouting for order—Alice tries to understand a world that refuses to follow ordinary rules.
