We read the Land of Stories novels and also now reading Treasure Island.

This book is my All.Time.Favorite. if I were so lucky as to fall down the rabbit hole, my first stop would be to the mad tea party, then off to see the Mock Turtle and The Gryphon. And I'd make sure to keep the key in my pocket before I tried to Drink anything! the other thing I'd do is take a moment to chat with The Dodo, as that was the character Lewis Carroll said he based on himself, and to speak with him would also be another dream come true.
