Alison's Adventures in Time

By Laura McAsh

It's the autumn of 2007 in London, England, and seventeen-year-old Alison Mayhew is terrified of what to make of the future. When she follows a mysterious man with a pocket watch, she finds herself there: over two hundred years into the future at the Kapilla Institute of Archival Accuracy.

​

But the future isn't what she thinks. A dictatorial commander named Maria Radley has overtaken KIAA. Cue Operation Morning Sky. Alison, along with a motley crew of new friends, volunteers to aid in a plot to depose the institution's tyrannical leader. Venturing back into Radley's past, Alison must now find out where exactly Maria Radley went wrong-and she just might find her own path along the way.

​

Inspired by Lewis Carroll's beloved classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, debut author Laura McAsh takes readers on a whimsical adventure of friendship and the perils of growing up in the first of this planned trilogy.
