Praise for Splintered:
STARRED REVIEW

Fans of dark fantasy, as well as of Carroll's Alice in all her revisionings (especially Tim Burton's), will find a lot to love in this compelling and imaginative novel.
--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Alyssa is one of the most unique protagonists I've come across in a while. Splintered is dark, twisted, entirely riveting, and a truly romantic tale.
--USA Today

Brilliant, because it is ambitious, inventive, and often surprising -- a contemporary reworking of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, '' with a deep bow toward Tim Burton's 2010 film version.
--The Boston Globe

It's a deft, complex metamorphosis of this children's fantasy made more enticing by competing romantic interests, a psychedelic setting, and more mad violence than its original.
--Booklist

Protagonist Alyssa...is an original. Howard's visual imagination is superior. The story's creepiness is intriguing as horror, and its hypnotic tone and setting, at the intersection of madness and creativity, should sweep readers down the rabbit hole.
--Publishers Weekly

While readers will delight in such recognizable scenes as Alyssa drinking from a bottle to shrink, the richly detailed scenes that stray from the original will entice the imagination. These adventures are indeed wonderful.
--BookPage

Attention to costume and setting render this a visually rich read...
--Kirkus Reviews

Wonderland is filled with much that is not as wonderful as might be expected, and yet, it is in Wonderland that Alyssa accepts her true nature. The cover with its swirling tendrils and insects surrounding Alyssa will surely attract teen readers who will not disappointed with this magical, edgy tale.
--Reading Today Online

Creepy, descriptive read with a generous dollop of romance.
