Extracted review from author DK Sanz:

5 Star Review

“People are going to love this reimagining of the classic tale. In her unique way, author Ellis Nelson recaptures the magic. Her remarkable talent and vivid imagination bring it to life again with a new pair of adventurers and a new series of obstacles.”

“Down the Treacle Well is well-written, flows nicely, and is easy to read. It is also brilliantly clever—fun, funny, warmhearted, and wonderfully descriptive. As a fan of Victorian-era literature, I loved the nostalgic vibe. I think it would make a great film, too—animated or live! Wonderful job by the author.”

Book Description:

While visiting a museum in England, Ben and Kyle experience the extraordinary. Gazing at the Alfred Jewel, an ancient Anglo-Saxon artifact, they watch as it spins, contorts, and evaporates from its case, taking them with it.

Whisked back to Victorian England, the brothers are shocked to find themselves sprawled on the floor before Mr. Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland.

They soon learn that the famous author’s muse, Alice, is missing. Alice has used the Alfred Jewel to enter Wonderland and, by so doing, has upset the time continuum. The only way for the boys to return home is to locate Alice and return her safely.

But Wonderland is a strange and dangerous place…

ALICE MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT:

“Who are you?” Caterpillar asked.

“You know perfectly well whom you are addressing!” said Alice.

“Where is he then?”

Alice groaned. “Mr. Dodgson said that I should make the announcement and that’s why I’m here.”

Caterpillar blew smoky rings into the air. His eyes grew droopy. “No one knows this Mr. Dodgson fellow anymore.”

“Mr. Dodgson? Alright then — Lewis Carroll.” Alice’s mounting irritation became plain as she opened and closed her fists.

“Let me introduce you and then you tell them? Agree?” murmured Caterpillar.

“I suppose,” said Alice.

“For all those listening, this is Alice Liddell from Oxford. She has news to share.”

Alice drew a long breath. “It is my privilege and honor to announce that my recent set of adventures underground with my American friends, Ben & Kyle, and also Mr. Dodgson ( I mean– Lewis Carroll) has been set to paper by author Ellis Nelson. The book entitled, Down the Treacle Well, will be published by Tuxtails Publishing and made available this fall. Everyone in Wonderland is terribly excited about the impending release.”

Caterpillar raised an eyebrow. “Everyone?”

“Well, probably not everyone. The Red Queen for one is likely to be quite upset.”

“Precisely,” said Caterpillar.
