Worlds Next Door

Twelve-year-old Janie Rutland somewhat grudgingly befriends Reggie Rankin-the weird new kid at school-and finally has someone to investigate her curious sightings in the abandoned house next door. When they find there's an impossible world in danger of total destruction, they face a choice. Do they have what it takes to save it? An eccentric fellowship gathers as they embark on a perilous quest in a race against time and their own fears. Traveling in what can only be described as a pirate hover ship, they're threatened by monsters and storms, shipwrecks and death. Can they find the answers they need to save Sian-and maybe all worlds?

11-year-old Vincent van Gogh discovers a curious new world through a tunnel on the moor. A mysterious white rabbit introduces Vincent to Alice, and their quest begins-defeat the dreaded Jabberwock before it consumes all of Wonderland. A slithy tove, an ill-tempered caterpillar, and the Cheshire cat meet them along the path as their adventures take them through fields dancing with flowers, tangled forests, and looking-glass pools. But all is not what it seems in Wonderland, and Vincent may not have-and may not want-what it takes to succeed. Destroying the Jabberwock may cost more than he's willing to give.
