Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I ve come across in a while. Splintered is dark twisted entirely riveting and a truly romantic tale. USA Today Brilliant because it is ambitious inventive and often surprising a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll s Alice s Adventures in Wonderland with a deep bow toward Tim Burton s 2010 film version. The Boston Globe It s a deft complex metamorphosis of this children s fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests a psychedelic setting and more mad violence than its original. Booklist Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard s visual imagination is superior. The story s creepiness is intriguing as horror and its hypnotic tone and setting at the intersection of madness and creativity should sweep readers down the rabbit hole. Publishers Weekly While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa drinking from a bottle to shrink the richly detailed scenes that stray from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are indeed wonderful. BookPage Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read...
