Summary: Awesome Book
Review: This book is truly one of my favorite's in the Alice series. The author promised to go through with Alice through all her years in highschool and a book that highlights Alice through age 18-60. Here is starts off as Alice's first year in highschool kicks off. At first everything is perfect, her boyfriend Patrick, schools going smoothly, and she's even having a coed sleepover at her house! But things start going downhill from there. A new girl, Penny, begins crushing on her boyfriend, and doesn't hide it. Suddenly Alice feels her world crumbling apart, she feels insecure and that no one can help her. And as Alice struggles, she has to handle some news about her dad's fiancee. Alice learns what trusts all about, and having confidence in yourself and in others is the most important thing of all.

I recomend this book to anyone in middle to anyone in high. The Alice series is truly tremendous and knows what she's doing. She's woven up all the characters and put them in a story of love, and self discovery. Truly a great read...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I'm not sick of Alice yet.........
Review: This book was good except I think that they could have ended it a little better. It's definitely worth reading though! I hope Phyllis Reynolds Naylor writes more of these.

Summary: Alice Alone
Review: This book was great! I finished the book the same night I got it! I wanted to finish it, so I wouldn't let myself fall asleep until I did. I was tired the next morning, but I didn't care...I finished the book, and that was all I cared about. You might want to have some tissues ready if you're the sentimental type. Some major stuff happens with Patrick and Alice - stuff everyone has been through, or will go through at some time in their life. Elizabeth's secret is bad, too, but I can't say more than that, cause that will ruin the suspense! Alice manages to come through with a clear voice. The emotions she has to go through speak so clear to everyone, that you will feel like you're Alice. Your not reading about her...you'll feel that you are her. Once again, Alice comes through clearly with feelings we all understand and have, but still manages to get through a message to us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Phyllis does it again!!
Review: This HAS to be my favourite Alice book yet; out of all thirteen! Alice has to endure the change of going into High School, but with with her two best friends, manages pretty well. Alice's boyfriend, Patrick broke up with her to go out with this other girl, Penny. Oh, how I despise her. Alice is really bummed. This book is funny, touching, and is laughable as well. The suicide watch thing was hilarious!!!! Once again, Phyllis nails this book. Just think, we have to wait till May 2002 to read her next one!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great book
Review: This is a great book as are all other books in the alice series. It is a good book for adolescents because it deals with what they are going through and it shows that you can get through the hardships life hands you. I reccomend this bood to all adolescents (especially the girls).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Alice is at her best in her worst situation yet
Review: This is the best book in the Alice series yet - though I don't advise you to read it first, being it's imperative you go in order so you are further able to understand how Alice McKinely grows and changes as a person.

Throughout Alice's teen dramas and various turmoils, she's had two fiercely loyal best friends, Pamela and Elizabeth, who have stuck by her side through thick and thin. She's also, for quite sometime, had a boyfriend.

Now, she will need Pamela and Elizabeth more than ever.

A new girl, Penny, has moved to town. She's petite, flirty, and cute - all the things Alice is not. All the boys swoon over her, yet she is not interested in all of the boys - she is, however, interested in Patrick. And, despite his relationship with Alice, Penny isn't afraid to hide it. Their flirting starts with her "accidentally" falling into his lap on a morning bus ride. Alice is a tad peeved, but Patrick is able to convince her that she's his girl in that calm, collected way that is oh-so reassuring.

But when Alice is strapped with school and unable to make time for Patrick, Penny always can. And she does. First it's Patrick making her scream at the movies, then it's Penny hugging him at his music recital. Alice is growing more and more suspicious, yet with good reason. Confrontations are inevitable and when Alice finally musters up her courage, Patrick is not all that understanding about her fears and worries.

It's the end of their two-year relationship.

Alice has officially had her heart broken for the first time. And how does it feel? She's fumbling with her confidence, feeling less than pretty, wishing she could fill the empty void her first boyfriend has left behind. However, with the help and support of friends like Pamela, Elizabeth, Jill, and Karen, she is able to begin to hold her head back up high. Sometimes, good friends are just was one needs to make it through a rough patch, a hardship, a hurdle. Sometimes, good friends are what you need to heal the hurt love can - and does - bring.

Naylor's Alice addition finds a comfortable balance in humor and realism, as do all of her Alice novels. Narrated by none other than Alice herself, you'll easily be able to see things through her eyes and share her pain, as well. You too will be aware of why there's such a "big fuss" over love, even if you have yet to have your heart broken.
