The story kicks off when a mysterious and peculiar being originating from Wonderland arrives to cast a strange and powerful magic over the school. This magical affliction causes widespread chaos, turning everyday school life completely upside down and altering the behavior and minds of the students in baffling ways. Amidst the spreading madness, only a select few students appear immune to the bizarre curse. Lizzie Hearts, who holds the destiny of being Wonderland's future queen; Cedar Wood, the clever daughter of Pinocchio; and Madeline Hatter, the vibrant heir to the Mad Hatter's Haberdashery and Tea Shoppe, find themselves miraculously keeping their heads while everyone around them loses theirs. With their classmates and teachers falling under the influence of the strange magic, it becomes entirely up to Lizzie, Cedar, and Madeline to step forward.
