Never(Wonder)Land Chapter 1

Description

Curiouser and curiouser? Ha! More like crazier and crazier when it comes to the Joy House Orphanage! Pete, the boy in the attic, is convinced he can fly. Hat-Trick, the psychotic teen in the top hat, tries to skewer people with cutlery. The cook has a hook for a hand and the caretaker’s head swells like a balloon when she’s angry.

Not the most stable place for overly curious Licey, but at least it’s never boring. Dealing with those nuts and six other impossible orphans all before breakfast, has Licey ready to tear out her hair by the roots or burst from the stories they keep planting in her imagination. Problem is Licey might be the craziest of them all!

In a modern mash-up of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Peter Pan, familiar characters are re-imagined into a modern tale resounding with humor, hope, whimsy and the unflinching power of the a child’s imagination.

NEVER(WONDER)LAND explores the complicated world of those who are growing up and the ones who flat out refuse to.



Yeah...that's my blurb and I'm stickin' to it. If you read this, please let me know what you think. I'd appreciate your feedback and your time immensely.

Oh how I love these types of stories! All the wonderful possibilities for a beautiful story! Descriptive enough for me to see the whole house in the inside of my head along with characters without it feeling long winded. Although these types of remake stories are really common now a days, yours remains unique in its own way.The idea of The Wonderland cast and the Neverland cast in the same house makes me laugh at just the thought of it! I can only imagine the mishaps to come! I also an sense a wonderful plot line coming along and am itching to read the next chapter. I can tell that you've worked very hard on this and you should be proud of it! Keep up the fantastic work!
