Summary: This is for young-adults?
Review: Really?In that case,Phyllis shouldn't be writing for young-adults.I warn all parents to pick something else.From the time I opened the book I knew this wasn't prize writing and Mrs.Naylor has tried to fill in her uninspired areas with [worthless material].Alice's brother tells her about his gal wearing [very little] to serve him dinner,then he proceeds to tell Alice that he dreams of her,his little sister,walking around naked.14-year old fiction.Really?!I couldn't read anymore as I was too angry and it's now 3.30am..I couldn't sleep or read anything else until I got this off my chest.I have read enough young-adult fiction and learnt enough about it in my writing coursse to know that this is [weak],unnecessary writing for children.What...is wrong with you,Phillis Reynolds Naylor.If you want to write for kids,write for kids.If not,not.Please print this,Amazon.com,parents should know what is being put on children's shelves.There are plenty of young-adult books,people,that can be given to young,impressionable,growing minds without filling it with [worthless material]....

Summary: "Alice in Lace" Summary and Review
Review: Summary:
Alice is an everyday ordinary girl who gets an interesting assignment in her health class in the eighth grade. She and her friends all receive real-life assignments of situations in order to learn how to deal with and explore the characteristics of their situations. Alice and her boyfriend Patrick are assigned to plan a wedding on a budget of five thousand dollars and still have money for the honeymoon, furniture, and their first months rent where ever they decide to live.
Alice and her friends learn through this assignment that life is full of important decisions and some of them can be planned for, and others are unexpected. The question is, how do you handle it?Reflection:
Overall, this book had a cute story line that could help children and young adults learn to deal with situations that may occur such as planning your grandmother's funeral, getting pregnant unexpectedly, buying a car, or having a limb amputated to name a few. This story could be useful in helping children learn to plan ahead and make wise decisions. However, there were some details in the story that were perverted and would not be appropriate to let a child read due to the fact that it would cause the mind to wonder and visualizations that would not be appropriate for the age level and needs not be promoted anyway. Personally, we would not use this book in a classroom activity or allow our own children to read it. This would have been a very cute book had the sexual content been left out.
