Book excerpt: In this Alice in Wonderland-esque action-adventure fantasy, a young girl must save both the known world and the subterranean hidden world of Hotland from an evil King bent on destroying civilization. The animals clearly knew something was wrong. Even her pet iguana scrawled a warning in the sand of his tank: He is coming. Soon all the animals are fleeing the suburb where Jane lives. But they aren't the only ones acting strange. Jane's parents seem to be hypnotized by their cell phones and the TV. And her grandma starts controlling the weather and speaking in a funny language. But when Jane meets an old blind man who can drive a car and claims Jane is the only one who can save the world, well, that's when things really start to get weird...
