Alice has a nose for trouble, but luckily she's a fairy--a Temporary Fairy. She has a magic wand, fairy wings, and a blanket, all of which she uses to disappear, to fly, to transform her dad into a horse, and to turn his cookies into her own!
Twelve-year-old Alice Rose hates her home in Virginia City, Nevada. Only Sam Clemens, the new reporter at her father's paper, keeps things interesting. Like Alice Rose, Sam has a colorful way with words and a habit of saying just what he thinks, especially when he's using his pen name-Mark Twain. When a miner is murdered, Sam is the only one willing to help Alice Rose investigate. She thinks the killing has something to do with the Society of Seven, a vigilante group of religious fanatics. Sam wonders if the plot isn't even bigger than that: a plan by the Confederacy to steal silver to fund their Civil War efforts. Mixing historical figures with top-notch fictional adventure, award-winning author Kathryn Lasky creates a thrilling mystery set on the wild American frontier. Christina Moore perfectly voices all of Alice's sharp wit and keen perception.

Es ist wirklich ein Wunderland, in das Alice nach ihrem Sturz in den Kaninchenbau gerät. Eine Wunderwelt dargestellt von dem mächtigen Orchesterklang der NDR Radiophilharmonie. Zunächst spaziert Alice unbekümmert durch diese bunte Welt, doch drohen ihr im weiteren Verlauf ihres Abenteuers üble Gefahren. Fast ertrinkt Alice in ihren eigenen Tränen und riesige Klangwellen scheinen sie im Tränenmeer zu überrollen. Die Herzkönigin will unbedingt ihre Macht durchsetzen und pocht mit Pauken und Trompeten auf ihr Recht, jedem den Kopf abschlagen zu dürfen. Auf der verrückten Teeparty kann man ein 'Nichtgeburtstagsständchen' hören. Sehr seltsam! Doch vielleicht ist ja alles nur ein Traum und löst sich hinterher in Wohlklang auf?!'
From the award-winning author of George, a phenomenal story about queerness past, present, and future.
Sam is very in touch with their own queer identity. They're nonbinary, and their best friend, TJ, is nonbinary as well. Sam's familyis very cool with it... as long as Sam remembers that nonbinary kids are also required to clean their rooms, do their homework,and try not to antagonize their teachers too much.The teacher-respect thing is hard when it comes to Sam's history class, because their teacher seems to believe that only DeadStraight Cis White Men are responsible for history. When Sam's home borough of Staten Island opens up a contest for a newstatue, Sam finds the perfect non-DSCWM subject: photographer Alice Austen, whose house has been turned into a museum,and who lived with a female partner for decades.Soon, Sam's project isn't just about winning the contest. It's about discovering a rich queer history that Sam's a part of -- a queerhistory that no longer needs to be quiet, as long as there are kids like Sam and TJ to stand up for it.
This is the story of Alice and the White Rabbit, beautifully voiced by Brenda Markwell.
