Splintered by A.G. Howard

Alyssa has always known she was different, but she tried to hide her differences as best she could.  Even her best friends don't know the truth about her mother, and the fact that the flowers and insects talk to her.

One evening while she is working at the secondhand clothing shop, she notices strange things happening.  She feels she is being watched and has been having some flashbacks from her childhood.
When she visits her mother for the last time, she realizes that her mother isn't crazy, but that her mother has been trying to save her from a family curse.  Alyssa knows that if she doesn't find the rabbit hole and break the family curse, her mother will be considered insane and will be heavily medicated.  Her friend, Jeb, ends up accidentally going down the rabbit hole with her and they try to find the secrets of Wonderland and correct the mistakes her ancestor created.  Her guide and childhood friend, Morpheus, says he is going to help her, but she doesn't know if she can trust him.

Splintered is the first book in the Splintered series.  Now on to the second book, Unhinged.  I cannot wait!

On another note, I had the extreme pleasure of being able to meet A.G. Howard at Alan in Minneapolis in November 2016.  She was also kind enough to Hangout during our Read Across America overnight on March 4th.  Our students were engaged, and she truly was a class act!  She even sent our student signed bookmarks!

We are huge fans of the Splintered series and A.G. Howard!
