Mel Gilden - The Jabberwock Came Whiffling краткое содержание
Twas brillig–and Albert is vacationing with his family in The Valley of Enchantment in Redwoods National Park in California when something goes very, VERY wrong. Albert suddenly finds himself without cell phone service, and is forced to deal with slithy toves, mome raths, borogoves, and a pretty girl named Alice. The only way that Albert can ever return home, he's told, is by slaying the Jabberwock, the monster featured in Lewis Carroll's classic poem, «Jabberwocky»; and then getting into the cave of a snark, which is, unfortunately, a boojum. Wonderland was never so much fun–or so dangerous! This modern-day sequel to Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books is a middle-grade novel for kids–and for adults who can still remember when they were kids. Great fantasy adventure!

Turner Cronyn and a beautiful woman named Astraea Scales investigate the theft of Big Al (the Triton)'s conch shell horn, which not only plays beautiful music at the Triton Club, but also has magical properties that could inundate greater L.A. And the villain appears to be the last of the surviving race of Sirens (of Circe fame), who still wants revenge on the Greek hero Jason! Great...
