Genre
Alice in Wonderland is an action/adventure and fantasy novel. Alice goes on an adventure to another land, and meets some very unusual characters. A few reasons why it would be adventure is because Alice is on a quest to wake up from her dream. In the beginning of the book it says “Alice is in for an adventure.” So, that says that its going to be adventure. Although this could be considered fantasy as well because of the unusual, magical characters that she meets.
