In a one-of-a-kind graphic novel collaboration between the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and the beloved illustrator behind Sarah’s Scribbles, Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy team up to save the multiverse, from Wonderland to Neverland and Oz.
Originating as fan fiction from the brilliant imagination of Andy Weir, now brought to vivid life by Sarah Andersen, Cheshire Crossing is a funny, breakneck, boundlessly inventive journey through classic worlds as you’ve never seen them before.
Years after their respective returns from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz, the trio meet here, at Cheshire Crossing—a boarding school where girls like them learn how to cope with their supernatural experiences and harness their magical world-crossing powers.
But Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy—now teenagers, who’ve had their fill of meddling authority figures—aren’t content to sit still in a classroom. Soon they’re dashing from one universe to the next, leaving havoc in their wake—and, inadvertently, bringing the Wicked Witch and Hook together in a deadly supervillain love match.
To stop them, the girls will have to draw on all of their powers . . . and marshal a team of unlikely allies from across the magical multiverse.
Advance praise for Cheshire Crossing
“Deliciously funny . . . a shrewd and spirited adaptation that will leave audiences hoping for another installment . . . Andersen’s delightful cartoon drawing style meshes perfectly with Weir’s prose, allowing the work to broaden its appeal beyond middle graders to young adults and adults.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

About the Author:
ANDY WEIR built a career as a software engineer until the success of his debut novel, The Martian, allowed him to live out his dream of writing full-time. He is a lifelong space nerd and devoted hobbyist of subjects such as relativistic physics, orbital mechanics, and the history of manned spaceflight.
SARAH ANDERSEN is a cartoonist, illustrator, and the author of numerous books based on her Sarah's Scribbles webcomic series published on Tapas.io. She graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. Both her illustration and cartooning work have been recognized by the Society of Illustrators.
From School Library Journal:
SARAH ANDERSEN is a cartoonist, illustrator, and the author of numerous books based on her Sarah's Scribbles webcomic series published on Tapas.io. She graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. Both her illustration and cartooning work have been recognized by the Society of Illustrators.
Gr 7 Up—Dorothy from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Alice of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Peter Pan's Wendy are now teens and very misunderstood—no one else believed their wild stories, and they were diagnosed as delusional. However, the teachers at the boarding school Cheshire Crossing believe them and know that each one of them possesses amazing powers. When the girls' fantasy worlds collide and Captain Hook and the Wicked Witch of the West band together, the three teens must harness their talents to save humanity. Weir, author of the sci-fi book The Martian, and Andersen, known for her funny webcomic Sarah's Scribbles, may seem an unlikely pair, but they pull off this story admirably if not perfectly. The world-hopping is at times confusing, and the character of Nanny is unnecessary. Several swear words and references to sex make the tale more appropriate for a YA audience, though the charming illustrations might attract younger readers. The art is appealing, with eye-catching details. A lovely red poppy motif appears throughout the narrative, and Andersen uses bold colors to depict the fantasy realms. The epilogue hints that the girls' adventures are not done, with another familiar villain ready to take center stage. VERDICT A solid purchase for most collections, as reimagined fairy tales are always popular and Weir and Andersen are well-known names.–Nancy McKay, Ella Johnson Memorial Library, Hampshire, IL
