In A.G. Howard’s debut novel Splintered, Alyssa, the fictional great-great-great-granddaughter of Alice Liddell, the woman who inspired Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, went down the rabbit hole to find that the real Wonderland is a much darker and peculiar place.This totally wild-of-a-ride book captivated fans of the original Alice, and won over new readers as well.
Amulet Books, an imprint of Abrams, recently announced that the Splintered story will continue as a trilogy. The sequel, Unhinged, releases in January 2014 and will be followed by the final title, Ensnared, the following year. Readers will be thrilled to see that the love triangle heats up in the second installment and they will have to decide if they are Team Jeb or Team Morpheus.
