Ok, so I'm not the biggest zombie fan...movie-wise anyway. Zombie themed books, however, are blowing my mind. I like monster books, but after a while, all the themes on vampires and werewolves are getting hackneyed. Zombies, however, are so new (in comparison) that their stories are all so unique. 
 This one is a retelling, re-imagining of Alice In Wonderland. I can't say how true this is to Lewis Carroll's books since I've never read them. I grew up hating Alice In Wonderland. The Disney version upset me and the Jabberwocky scared the bejesus out of me. Not fun for a kid. 
 As an adult I haven't been able to revisit Alice's tale, but even without much knowledge of it, this book is still amazing. 
 Alice grew up with her alcoholic father who was paranoid about monsters only he could see that came out at nighttime. She and her little sister never got to do anything after dark. On her 16th birthday, her little sister begs Alice to ask to go to her dance recital as a present. Alice can't say no so she convinces her parents to go. On the way home, get father is terrified the creatures are coming and causes her mother to lose control of the wheel and get into an accident which kills Alice's family...and allows her to finally see the monsters. 
 Alice goes to live with her grandparents, and at her new school she meets a group of tough kids who carry secrets...and stranger things start to happen to her...and down the rabbit hole she goes. 
 Filed with romance, suspense, humor and horror, this was a fun, refreshing new take on zombies and on Alice in Wonderland
