What Amazon Says:
Originating as fan fiction is a journey through classic worlds as you've never seen them before. Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing - a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers. But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy - now teenagers, who've had their fill of meddling authority figures - aren't content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they're dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake - and inadvertently, brining the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match. To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers - and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical mutliverse.
I want to say that Andy Weir is a favorite author of mine. The Martian remains to this day one of my all time favorite books. Apparently he wrote this one BEFORE he wrote the Martian (which was also fan fiction) and this one for me was a miss. He had a good idea, and I was drawn into it - a cross over world among fairytales. But the dialogue fell flat and I just could not engage in the story.
