Alice in Wonderland meets Chronicles of Narnia is the best way to describe this book. 
 --but to be different was to be extraordinary, and to be extraordinary was an adventure. It no longer mattered how the world saw her; what mattered was how Alice saw herself. 
 Alice lives in a world full of color and magic - but is colorless herself. Three years ago Alice's father went missing and she's been living in a very dreadful existence since then. When she's faced with the opportunity to find father and bring him back Alice goes on an adventure of her own. This story was extremely detailed as far as sceneryand all that encompasses Furthermore. Very middle grade (more so than Percy Jackson and Harry Potter) so if you can't stand the mind of a twelve year old boy and girl than this book probably isn't for you. I really enjoyed the second person narration that was thrown in so it was as though I was being told a story from Mafi herself. I didn't enjoy the fast ending (view spoiler)[she lands in her fathers prison after jumping through a painting and escapes all in a matter of 2-3 chapters (hide spoiler)] and felt as though it was rushed after so much world building and running around lost in Furthermore.
