Alice is a skilled pre-teen secret agent, but when she joins the forces of Wonderland, she's in over her head. How can Alice sneak into the evil Queenie Hearts's garden party and stop her top-secret, world-ending plan amid all this madness?
Alice is planning to follow the family tradition and become a secret agent, so when she's recruited by Mr. White of Wonderland it seems like just what she's looking for. But Wonderland is seriously weird and her team consists of Maddie, who insists on stopping for tea every hour, and Kitty, who disappears (literally) at odd moments--and her first assignment, to sneak into Queenie Heart's garden party, may well turn out to be her last.
