Curiosity often leads to trouble...

Thirteen powerful voices in young adult fiction invite you to journey into startling new Wonderlands in this nod to the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s timeless character, ALICE. 

Mystery. Madness. Mayhem. Each story in this collection will intrigue, bewitch, and enchant. Through rich historicals, castles and keeps, wild wormholes, secret workshops, deadly plagues, and gritty urban explorations, we present new tales of Alice and her white rabbit. 

Whether an intrepid reporter, a would-be car thief, or the last human in a world ruled by machines, at the heart of each story Alice is a girl discovering who she really is in worlds that never fail to surprise.

What wonders await, oh curious reader? Leap down the rabbit hole and discover the truth..

 
  


Day 5 - Story 5 

Rabbit Fever by Jackie Horsfall


The fifth story in Beware the Little White Rabbit is Rabbit Fever by Jackie Horsfall. I found this story to be unique and well written. It was well paced and full of emotion. I really enjoyed it very much. Anything with a sort of historical twist to it usually catches my interest and this was no exception. I've found another author to add to my watch list.

My Rating:

Jackie knew she wanted to write when a high school English teacher scolded her for writing a book report on a banned book. Jackie didn't know the book had been banned -- or even that books COULD be banned. 

Now she does it all: fiction & nonfiction, 21 books & hundreds of magazine pieces, for kids, teens and adults. For 15 years she taught writing courses for the Institute of Children's Literature. Her early writing career began in Washington, DC, at the White House Correspondence Section -- answering the President's mail.

Jackie lives in the Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York, deep in the woods where mushrooms form fairy circles.
