Alice Wonder gets an offer from a Wonderland Monster. A little help to locate the Six Impossible Keys in exchange of knowing who she really is and why she killed her classmates in the school bus. Alice agrees, knowing the consequences might put the whole world in danger.
One step into the truth, she realizes she needs the Pillar for help. But the Pillar is gone. He's not coming until fourteen years of her life passes. Unless she finds a way to bring him back. Maybe the number 14 written on her asylum cell's wall is a clue.
Meanwhile, the Cheshire is stirring havoc in Jack's body, only to end up shocked by the things roaming in Jack's head. And suddenly, the Cheshire is looking for Alice too, because knowing what happened in the past will only kill her before she could even locate the keys.
Will Alice survive? Will she know what happened on the bus? Will she find about Jack's secret and why he came back from the dead?

Alice in Wonderland is one of my all-time favourites and I love re-telling's. I also love the other books in Jace's Insanity series. So enjoying this book is a given. I must admit it's been a couple of years since I read the last book and I think this made my enjoyment suffer a tiny bit. The Insanity books are better read one after the other if possible with not much time between them because some of the links to the other books were a tiny bit lost on me. But never mind, that's my fault for leaving it so long between books. It took a few chapters to get back into the crazy swing of things but once I did it was like settling down with an old friend. Wonder returns to events in the earlier books, especially the first one Insanity which was a treat. I remember how much Insanity blew my mind the first time I read it. The Insanity series remains on the best and craziest fairytale re-telling's I've ever read.
