It's Walt Disney meets H. G. Wells. A 12-year-old girl gets a token once owned by Charles Dickens, of whom it was said used it to time travel for his book research. But Emma Thomas finds out that it only works with fictitious places ... like to Alice's Wonderland, Dorothy's Oz, or Anne's Green Gables.

A Journey with Alice in Wonderland (Juvenile 9-12)

When Emma Thomas' best friend gives her a replica of a magic token once owned by Charles Dickens, Emma accidentally wishes herself back to 1862 and joins Alice in Wonderland. Along their journey Emma breaks up the Caucus racers, acts as policewoman for a loud-mouthed Duchess and her pan-throwing cook, trades insults with the pipe-smoking Caterpillar and the grinning Cheshire Cat, disrupts the Queen of Heart's croquet match, stirs the Mad Hatter's tea party into an even madder, madcap, madhouse, and plays defense attorney to try to stop the Queen of Hearts from chopping off Alice's head. Having lost the magic token somewhere in Wonderland, Emma seems trapped in Alice's mad, mad, mad, upside-down world?
