Alyce by Rachel Vallerie is the story of a sixteen year old girl who is kidnapped one night by a mysterious man called the Mad Hatter. He brings her to the strange world of Wonderland where she is held captive for some unknown reason. As the story progresses, her chances of ever leaving this crazy mixed-up world become more and more slim.
The author of this book is one of my very good friends and she wrote this for her Senior Project. I was also involved in editing it so I saw its evolution. Rachel’s writing has developed quite a bit over the year. She cleverly put a twist on what could have been a very cliched ending and surprised me with moments where you truly felt for the characters. As you can probably tell, this story draws quite a bit from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland which makes it quite an interesting read for those familiar with that story.
3/5 stars
