Product Overview
Books, libraries, and newspapers have at last become things of the past. Now handheld Memes allow for constant communication and entertainment. They can even anticipate our needs, dialing the doctor before we know were sick, or prompting us with words we cant recall. Yet a few dedicated wordsmiths are still laboring on the final print edition of the North American Dictionary of the English Language. But one evening, right before its released, Anana Johnson finds that the chief editorher fatherhas vanished.
In alternating points of view, Anana and her bookish colleague Bart follow their only clue, the wordALICE, down the proverbial rabbit hole, into subterranean passages, the stacks of the Mercantile Library, and secret meetings of an anti-Meme underground resistance, racing closer to the truth about Ananas fathers disappearance, and discovering a frightening connection to the growing word flu pandemic.
