Kind of a fun Wonderland/Neverland/Oz fanfic where Alice, Wendy and Dorothy fight wicked witches and pirates. Not super deep, but it was fun to watch the characters of the different stories interact. ( )

Enjoy! ( )

Meh. At first I really liked it, but the characters went flat and the story was just action sequences and weird references to Peter Pan growing up. I would have loved to see real personalities emerge, but characters just became props for fight scenes and unfunny jokes. ( )

Gosh, I still don't know what to say. I was sooo looking forward to reading this graphic novel, fantasy thingy, neither of which is my genre at all, but I loved The Martian and Andy Weir's short stories on his website; and one of my all-time favourites is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I genuinely loved the idea of this book. Taking Dorothy from Oz, Alice from Wonderland and Wendy from Neverland, and sending them together to boarding school, then on adventures in their respective worlds. I was also thrilled by the news that it was none other than Sarah Andersen who was illustrating it.

They looked fun and different and the pictures are beautiful but all this is enough for a couple of short comic strips of not more than six frames. You know, like the funny pictures with a diagnosis of psychological disorder for each character in Winnie-the-Pooh, or the jokes saying Snow White's prince was a necrophiliac, and that sort of stuff.

This book had around two good lines and a very good idea but the characters managed to be utterly uninteresting, even annoying at times and nothing like the original ones (especially Mary Poppins evoking the spirits of naughty children towards the end, I mean, really, wtf, man?!) Regarding the text, most of the time I had the feeling that this is how an American writer imagines a British person speaking. The romantic relationship of Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West shifted back and forth among gallantry, intimacy, pure business, almost rude behaviour and some stupid subordination, I just couldn't understand what was going on between them, not one part of it was believable.

An utter, utter disappointment. ( )

3.5 stars for me.

Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Wendy (from Peter Pan), and Dorothy (from Oz) become roommates. They are watched over by Mr. Rutherford and a nanny. Highlights include a twist with throwing buckets of water on a witch and the nanny's true identify.
