In a one-of-a-kind graphic novel collaboration between the #1New York Timesbestselling author ofThe Martianand the belovedillustrator behindSarah'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 Crossingis 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 triomeet 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. ButAlice, 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.
