A "Wonderland" fantasy novel adventure. Zed encounters a desperate young woman, Miranda, whose mother has vanished. Miranda seeks his aid in finding and rescuing her, but from what or where? During home renovations, her mother discovered a strange, magical portal and vanished through it into a strange wonderland world. Zed and Miranda follow after her, hoping to find out what happened to her mother and bring her back to their Peoria home. In the process, their very reality is challenged. Upon arrival in this strange world, they meet first a talking turtle, squirrel, and rabbit who are having a tea party. From here, it only gets stranger and stranger. As they search for Miranda's mother, these three follow them and join in their adventures through a series of very strange "lands" within this world known as Montford's Portail Mystique d'Univers, created back in the early 1800's. This is a funny, sometimes humorous, exciting adventure.
