Synopsis

Alice Z is the harrowing story of a young girl fighting to find a cure for the Momerath Plague that has devastated the world. Her sister has contracted the virus and Alice is the only one who will brave Wanderland to save her. In her adventures she meets Chess, Waite R. Abbott, the Red Queen, Matt Hatta, and other fantastic characters who help and hinder her along the way. Will she be able to find the cure and save her sister? Find out in Alice Z!

Outline

I. Down the Rabbit Hole (Ch. 1-7)

     In the first section of Alice Z, readers will be introduced to

Alice and the momerath. Readers will follow her as she ventures down the
Rabbit Hole into the terrifying world of Wanderland.

II. The Pool of Tears (Ch. 8-10)

    The second section of Alice Z brings readers to Borogove Industries where they must escape a horde of rampaging momerath.

III. Advice from a Caterpillar (Ch. 11-14)

     Section three brings Alice and her new traveling companion to

the heart of Phoenix, where they must meet with a local conspiracy
theorist to learn what they can about Wanderland, the momerath, and
Borogove Industries.

IV. The Queen's Croquet Ground (Ch. 15-19)

    In section four, Alice arrives in Tulgey Wood and meets with the Red Queen. During her stay, she makes a new ally and gains assistance in breaking into Borogove.

V.  A Mad Tea Party (Ch. 20-23)

    The fifth section of Alice's tale finds our hero trapped inside of Borogove with Matt Hatta and a swarm of raging momerath.

VI. Who Stole the Tarts (Ch. 24-26)

     Section six brings some new
information to Alice in her search for the cure, including a discovery
that changes everything she once thought to be true.

VII. Alice's Evidence (Ch. 27-29)

      The seventh and final section of Alice Z concludes the story  with a  confrontation between Alice and someone she trusted. The antidote has been found, and that is the end. Or is it?

Original Cover Art by J.M. Sullivan

Competition

Alice Z is a retelling Lewis Carroll's classic tale with a scary spin- zombies! Although this concept has been explored (White Rabbit Chronicles, Insanity), J.M. Sullivan's book is an intriguing adaptation that both lovers of Carroll's work and the undead will enjoy. She incorporates Carroll's classic characters with a fresh twist that makes them  recognizable yet intriguing at the same time. Readers will not only enjoy the adventures of Alice and the thrills of momerath chases, but will also be delighted in matching beloved characters with their revamped counterparts, making Wanderland a true Wonderland.
