Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dylana

Never has an Alice Mckinley book ever failed. Alice is a character you can relate to so much in real life. She is like your best friend! This is the latest book in the Alice series. She's a sophomore in high school and things are changing. It's time for her Dad to get married to Sylvia Summers, her junior high teacher. Her brother Lester is moving out. And her relationships with friends and kids at school are changing, as well. ALice learns that life is all about growing up and dealing with new experiences, good and bad. She learns that even though things may not go as planned, you have to learn to work through it, and it'll be alright in the end.
All the Alice books have a great lesson to teach. They are all filled with humor and fun. This book was very realistic and showed how Alice felt lonely during this time of change in her life. It delt a lot with the wedding, and less with ALice's friends Elizabeth and Pamela.
Overall, if you are an Alice friend, of course you'll have to read this one. Another book is on the way, since this one ends in a way that shows new things are sure to come in the future. I can't wait!
