Summary: achingly alice
Review: Alice ,again, blows me away. this book deals with issues that are very hush hush. She finally realizes that she is a sexual being. Yet she is still utterly coonfused by her dad and mrs. summers romance.
Rating: 
Summary: Great! Captures all the emotions of adolescence.
Review: Alice is a character that all teenagers, whether girls or guys, can relate to. She is independent, spirited, curious, funny, courageous, bubbly, wry, friendly, and so much more! As a teenager, when I read the book (and the others in the series), I felt like saying, "that's exactly how I feel!" Naylor's writing is superb!

Summary: Achingly Alice is an honest, fun book to read
Review: Alice McKinley, thirteen years old has decided to become a person "who makes things happen" in the tenth book of this gentle, humorous series. Her first goal is to get her father and her favorite teacher, Miss Summers, to finally get married. Over the course of the novel her attempts to intervene backfire, as does her certainty about there being blacks and whites when it comes to love. Naylor's keen ear for dialog and sensitive understanding of the pains of adolescence make this book ring true and honest whether dealing with the nature of friendship, the quixotic moods of a teenager, the need to find the perfect outfit, or the scariness and exhilaration inherent in the budding of sexuality (pelvic exams and masturbation are discussed frankly). Although the book also deals with more serious issues of loss throughout the story, it does so with humor, sympathy and a light touch. I would highly recommend this book to younger YA readers.

Summary: Yo Publishers!
Review: Can I just say that if the Alice novels do indeed have very raw sexual talk,and I know they do,there should be a warning on the cover and should not be aimed at such young ages.Television has warnings,so should books like this.

Summary: Alice sure has very interesting things happpen to her!
Review: Growing up is quite a thrill in Alice's life. She has ideas that no one else could even dream of sometimes. When she decides to take charge of her life seems like a good idea at first, after descovering that she really can't plan all that happens she learns this as a valuable lesson. I really enjoy her books and her adventures and can't wait to see what will happen to her next!

Rating:
Summary: Enchanting!
Review: I probably related the most to Alice in this book because of her sexual discovery and I think most girls will, too. Alice comes right out and says the stuff young girls are thinking and curious about and a lot of them are answered. If you are up tight and scared about bodily things, read this! If you're questioning where to draw the line with boys, read this! If you're wondering if you really are a womanly creature, read this! It made me feel a lot better and it probably will for you, too!Blessed be!
