Hi,Elvira,

Thanks for posting.

Alice in Wonderland? Sorry, not at all. Right from the start, the little girl in blue was a copy of a famous painting by Renoir, with a little girl in blue standing in a garden. I actually think it was Renoir’s son, but he turned the figure into a girl for purposes of his painting. It was later explained in the book that it had been a painting on the wall of the house across the way that Chase saw while he was falling.

Hope RESTART was a hit! Thanks again for reaching out.                                  —–Gordon Korman—–
