Wonderland started in 2005 as a collaborative space for our writing group to share news, links, book recommendations, and thoughts on writing for young adults.
Through various iterations, we've still held to our core vision, finding Wonderland, and sharing our discoveries.
We blog to hear ourselves think, in a crowded field, and a busy social-media laden world. We blog to create a corner of community, and hope you feel welcome here.
Click the links to discover more about what makes us who we are and about what we do. You can also visit Tanita on her official author site, and aquafortis on her official author site.
NB: as per the FTC Guidelines for blogging and endorsements, Finding Wonderland hereby states that unless otherwise stated (such as, if we get it from the library or buy it ourselves), readers should assume that every book reviewed on our site is provided to the reviewers by the publisher or the author free of charge or obligation.

From the film:
Q: which one is the bad doll?
A: this one [indicates black doll]
Q: which one is the nice doll?
A: this one [indicates white doll]
Q: why is this doll bad?
A: because it’s black
Q: and why is this one nice?
A: because she’s white
Note that the child viewed the black doll as an “it,” but the white doll as a “she.” This goes even beyond thinking that the dolls are good or bad, and into seeing the black doll as non-human.
Truly a sad, sad world.
