About the book

Alice Liddell, Wendy Darling, and Dorothy Gale meet at Cheshire Crossing, a private boarding school where Dr. Ernest Rutherford studies their supernatural experiences. Labeled with dissociative disorders by their families, the girls realize their travels to Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz were real. When Dorothy accidentally teleports the group using her silver slippers, they trigger a multiversal crisis. The girls combine their unique skills to fight a combined threat from Captain Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West across various magical dimensions.

Fans of crossover fiction and fractured fairy tales read this graphic novel for its pragmatic approach to classic children’s literature. The story appeals to readers who enjoy seeing vulnerable characters recast as capable, snarky teenagers with agency. Instead of whimsical lessons, readers find a fast-paced adventure featuring scientific explanations for magical travel and tactical teamwork. You walk away with a modernized perspective on these protagonists, seeing them as survivors of extraordinary circumstances who reclaim their own narratives through cooperation.
