NOTES Some mild adult language and content
First-year college student Alice is in serious danger of failing her English course when she follows her composition paper into the trash -- and ends up in a hallucinatory world where the rules of grammar are turned upside-down. If she wants to pass, she'll need to deal with gunslinging run-on sentences, thugs hawking colloquialisms, fearsome Modifier Leeches, and more. Inspired by Lewis Carroll and parodying the terse manual The Elements of Style by Strunk & White, this ingenious comedy explores the fantasy world of language in all its grotesque mutations.

Reviews
"An inspired take on Alice in Wonderland. The world of words has never been so interesting -- or indeed amusing -- as our young heroine is led through a mysterious land filled with nouns, adjectives and passive tenses. Surprisingly addictive viewing."
--Anna Millar, The Scotsman (Edinburgh)
