This adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s brilliant nonsense and madcap characters takes Alice on an adolescent journey in search of her identity. Pushing back at the people in her world who insist they know what’s best for her, Alice gives up old comforts and takes on new challenges – working through moments of anxiety, ambivalence and confusion about growing up. White Rabbit, Red Queen, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Dormouse and many other familiar characters are there to help Alice find her way home. In the end, her self-esteem is affirmed and dreams of a rosy future are secure. Illustrated with wit and whimsy, this enduring, universal tale resonates with children and adults of all ages.
