Meet Celia, a quirky, sassy, much-older version of Wonderland's Alice than you might remember. Celia's been to Wonderland and back a few times, and she's a bit of a master at magic now. In fact, she's so good that the bad guys all want her for themselves, so she has to hide out in Florida under the alias "Celia," with some good guy protectors keeping her safe. And now, of course, there's a prophecy. There's always a prophecy. But Celia's at the heart of this one, and if she doesn't step up and do her job, the Queen of Hearts will win the battle once and for all - and none of us will exist anymore.

When I sat down to write this book, it was not an attempt to create a renowned literary work, nor was it about money or profit. I had become deeply saddened and angered, to the verge of outrage, due to the venal actions of my (elected?) government. This book speaks to the lies, hypocrisy and nefarious activities of this Bush bastard and his "colleagues-in-crime". I have no political affiliation per se. This is not about "Right" or "Left"--in this book I speak to right and wrong! This man (now there's an oxymoron) and his cronies have come to us with God on their lips and blood on their hands. I only have hopes in awakening the sleeping apathetic and complacent.

As Briar struggles to motivate her cast and crew, she learns some important truths about the fine art of directing—and about herself. This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don’t like to read!
