Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Dover Thrift Editions)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll The Good: A great modern Chinese-Australian YA ghost story that's also a homage - almost a love letter - to the 80s! Great for all us YA readers in our forties *whistles* The Bad: The lack of Valley Girl references. The weird five-minute counsellor appointment - this was not believable, and I'm not sure what the point of it was.The Ugly (but no different to most other YA, and hot damn I wish this would change real soon now): Multiple (and unchallenged) references to "spazzing out". The Bonus: Labyrinth dialogue. *hearts* Lots of other eighties Easter Eggs.My Question: Is the ghost's last name a homage to a Corey, by any chance?
