“Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll\u2019s Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burton\u2019s), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel.”
\n\u2014Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/i><\/p>\n
“<\/i>Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I’ve come across in a while. Splintered<\/em> is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale.”
\n\u2014USA Today<\/i><\/p>\n“Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising \u2014 a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll\u2019s Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em>, with a deep bow toward Tim Burton\u2019s 2010 film version.”
\n\u2014The Boston Globe<\/i><\/p>\n“It\u2019s a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children\u2019s fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original.”
\n\u2014Booklist<\/i><\/p>\n
“Protagonist Alyssa…is an original. Howard’s visual imagination is superior. The story’s creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole.”
