Alicia and The Queen of the Forest Gary D Hillard

Foster care has not been kind to Alicia. When she runs into the forest, fleeing a monster - her older cousin Mark - she finds herself down the rabbit hole and in the company of Edward, her once-lost stuffed bunny. The barrier between what is real and what is needed is increasingly unclear. Searching the woods for Edward's front door leads Alicia to Juniper, the tiny unschooled wild-child of May and Joe. Juniper is more dangerous than she appears and has her own secret past. All Alicia wants is her mom out of jail, her baby brothers found, and her family put back together. None of this seems likely, or even possible. And how can you know if you're crazy or not, when you live in a crazy world?
