Paved Paradise
Allison Lewis is a lost Gen Y'er in New Orleans whose life turns upside down after she follows the Aztec god of wine, Two Rabbit, into the Wonderworld, a place composed of the dreams of every human being.
What starts as a simple mission to get back home takes Allison on an epic journey to her true destiny: to defeat the four evil rulers of Wonderworld -- the only other humans to have found it -- and set its people free. But first she must follow the Golden Path to meet with the Black Wizard and along the way forms friendships in the form of three deceptively powerful allies:
Oscar Lionheart, a timid dragonoil salesman who jumps at the wind; Frank Crow, a hodge-podge homunculus with only half of his brains; and the stoic Iron Woodsman, whose glass heart was shattered by the Blood Queen.
All of this, of course, following the Law of Ironies, which rules all things.
A pastiche of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, the songs of Black Sabbath, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, and so much more, Paved Paradise is the ultimate coming-of-age fairytale, an effervescent road trip to find the god within.
