Okay, let's be honest - this genre is NOT for me anymore. I have been reading YA for three years, and this middle grade fantasy was just not my cup of tea.

However, for a late-elementary school, early-middle school kid, this book is the bomb.

So here's my summary:
A girl named Celia just moved to a new city (because her mom got a job as a librarian). Celia is dyslexic and has been made fun of at school. She bumps into a boy who is obsessed with reading (named Tyrus) and they become fast-friends. Then, they discover a box. They try to crack the gear code on it, and somehow open a door to Wonderland. They travel to Wonderland, which is more screwed up than normal. They go on an adventure and meet many of the classic "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" characters. All while trying to fix Wonderland (someone has been sucking all of the logic - which balances the crazy parts of Wonderland - and has made the creatures . . . kind of scary). They eventually do, making everything go back to normal in Wonderland, and then find a way home. The ending is really inspiring too.
