A teaser graphic for the October young adult hint titled 'Return to Wonderland' featuring a woman in a voluminous light blue dress being spun around outdoors. The design is very reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and includes red hearts, black spades, and white text over a background of a building and green grass.

Return to Wonderland

October Young Adult

Timed to the 75th anniversary of Disney’s enduring classic Alice in Wonderland, this continuation follows a curious new adventure down the rabbit hole, many years after her first visit to Wonderland in our October YA box, Return to Wonderland! 🫖 🐇

Years after her first tumble down the rabbit hole, she returns to Wonderland for good. As a young woman with limited options in 19th century London, only Wonderland can grant her the freedom she craves, like the chance to open a traveling magical tea shop.

Even though she expects madness from familiar faces, she doesn’t expect to meet another real-world teenager—one who claims she is the first adventurer to explore Wonderland. Soon, the Queen of Hearts’ soldiers capture both girls and bring them to the castle, and more startling truths come to light: dozens of others have appeared in Wonderland, also claiming to be her.

Based on a strange prophecy, the Queen believes the true original is destined to save Wonderland from utter peril: three ghastly mock dragons who have invaded from another realm. Whoever can stop the mock dragons will be honored . . . while the others will be exiled, never allowed to return.

Determined to secure Wonderland’s future and her own, she sets out on a daring quest, equipped only with her enchanted tea set. Hesitant to trust any imposters, she forms a tenuous alliance with a strange boy with a connection to the fearful jabberwocks of lore. But is she truly the original in Wonderland, or a mere footnote in another heroine’s story?

On sale now through October 14th (or until we sell out), this magical novel will feature four slightly mad gifts that bring this story to life! Boxes are expected to ship in late October.
