A young girl takes refuge in a London Tube station during WWII and confronts grief, loss, and first love with the help of her favorite book, Alice in Wonderland, in the debut novel from Tony Award-winning playwright Steven Sater. London, 1940. Amidst the rubble of the Blitz of World War II, fifteen-year-old Alice Spencer and her best friend, Alfred, are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. Sick with tuberculosis, Alfred is quarantined, with doctors saying he won't make it through the night. In her desperation to keep him holding on, Alice turns to their favorite pastime: recalling the book that bonded them, and telling the story that she knows by heart--the story of Alice in Wonderland. What follows is a stunning, fantastical journey that blends Alice's two worlds: her war-ravaged homeland being held together by nurses and soldiers and Winston Churchill, and her beloved Wonderland, a welcome distraction from the bombs and the death, but a place where one rule always applies: the pages must keep turning. But then the lines between these two worlds begin to blur. Is that a militant Red Cross Nurse demanding that Alice get BACK. TO. HER. BED!, or is it the infamous Queen of Hearts saying...something about her head? Soon, Alice must decide whether to stay in Wonderland forever, or embrace the pain of reality if that's what it means to grow up. In this gorgeous YA adaption of his off-Broadway musical, the Tony Award-winning co-creator of Spring Awakening encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

Deciding, individually to hide in plain sight; arriving to class in Long Island University at the same time they grappled determinedly for the very same seat in the very back of the large introductory program amphitheater. They were, in no particular order, Ezra Goldman, Max Ottoman, Douglas Fields and Ira Sinclair. No class was big enough for the four of them. Try as they might, they couldn’t decide who should occupy the coveted seat, so the seat went empty as the four young assuming gladiators stood guard. Each man had told their co-conspirators just why ‘he’ should be granted the seat. After hearing each argument, ‘No’ one willingly relinquished their hold on the seat. The class ended with those obstinate guys standing in a cluster around the vacant seat. Needless to say taking notes was difficult if not impossible while standing guard holding onto their undeserving possession.
