Cheshire Crossing

Powell's Picks of the Month

Hot new releases and under-the-radar gems for adults and kids.

I love the idea of these three characters joining forces, especially since they’ve all grown into total badasses! Together they go on an exciting adventure, jumping between Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz. It’s a truly delightful story, often very funny, and the illustration style charmed me completely. Highly recommended! Recommended By Leah B., Powells.com

#1 New York Times bestselling author Andy Weir and acclaimed illustrator Sarah Andersen tackle what transpires after "happily ever after." What happens to Alice when she comes back from Wonderland? Wendy from Neverland? Dorothy from Oz?

The three 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 the trio — 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, bringing 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 multiverse.

Written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian, Andy Weir, and illustrated by beloved Sarah's Scribbles creator, Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you've never seen them before.

"Deliciously funny... a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment... Andersen's delightful cartoon drawing style meshes perfectly with Weir's prose, allowing the work to broaden its appeal beyond middle graders to young adults and adults." Kirkus Reviews Starred Review
