Wunderkind

Falling down, down, down. Into a world that takes three years to get to. And she's there, of course, Alice. But, gosh, she looks different than he expected. There's a group of boys and girls that all ended up there after running from something. There's Neverland and Oz up in the sky, Narnia to the west and The Wild to the right.

Ryan finds himself underground, belonging to a boy who caught him in a butterfly net, and trying to remember something he's pretty sure he's forgotten.

_____“He might try to go up.” Bit continued as if
Alice hadn’t spoken. “Brendon may try to follow.
This could end badly.”
