Cheshire Crossing

By: Andy Weir

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss, Brittany Pressley, Kristen DiMercurio, Rebecca Soler, Lisa Flanagan, James Monroe Iglehart, Neil Hellegers, Sean Patrick Hopkins, Peter Coleman, Pete Bradbury

#1 New York Times bestselling author Andy Weir and acclaimed illustrator Sarah Andersen tackle what transpires after "happily ever after." What happens to Alice when she comes back from Wonderland? Wendy from Neverland? Dorothy from Oz?

The three meet here, at Cheshire Crossing—a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers.

But the trio—now teenagers, who’ve had their fill of meddling authority figures—aren’t content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they’re dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake—and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match.

To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.

Written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian, Andy Weir, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you’ve never seen them before.

Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing

“Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Fun!

Fun imaginative book! Definitely will add this to my favorites :-) easy to lose yourself in.

Funny short story

I liked the mix of characters and how each got to shine in their own way. Fun twist on classic tales.

Dramatic reading

Interesting premise with Dorthy, Alice, and Wendy traveling together to their respective fantasy lands. Peter and Captain Hook, as well as the wicked witch are included in this story.

Fun Theatrical Adaptation of the Graphic Novel

This story was originally written as a 4 part comic book series, then collected and re-illustrated as a graphic novel. This production has a full cast of voice actors for all the characters, plus a narrator to bridge scenes. It's fun and funny, with lots of sly references to the original classic stories. Mary Poppins is a major character as well, although for copyright reasons they had to change her name to Mrs. Pool. There is a delicious mash-up of the fantasy realms, as the girls travel to each other's magical lands, inadvertently allowing both good and bad guys to also cross worlds, resulting in glorious mayhem. I was thoroughly charmed and entertained.

Creative

Throwing the characters and their worlds together, this was entertaining and imaginative. The cast performance was great.
