Recently I read the book "Achingly Alice" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, which is a story about Alice, the main character, and the events that take place as she tries to get her teacher to marry her father who're in love. The cover is what caught my eye as I thought it'd be a sweet romance consideri...

I knew I shouldn't have, but I picked this up at my local library on Saturday afternoon and started reading it shortly after. I had been wanting to read it for quite awhile even though it is a little bit older (2003). I think it would make a great summer read and it made me want summer vacation t...
Ngga ada satu orangpun yang pernah bilang sama gue, kalo jadi remaja itu SUSAH.Lebih susah dari sekedar naik metromini ke melawai, terus ngerjain soal-soal spmb yang hasilnya cuma bisa menjawab 4 pertanyaan buat mata pelajaran matematika yang jumlah soalnya ada.. 25. And double that.Lebih susah d...
Slight improvement over the previous installment. Nonetheless, I hold the same misgivings in regards to the sexual content. Moreover, the characters remain flat, no longer leaping from the page as in earlier editions. My hunch is this is due to Naylor writing based on what she has read and observ...

Oh Alice, the insecurities of being a new teen seem to not phase her in the same way it does her friends. The main reason is because of her innocent nature. I've read reviews that claimed she was unrealistic, but I can promise you that I teach high school juniors that display the same level of in...

If you're reading the Alice books more or less in order but skipping around a little, like I did, don't skip this one. It's not filler like some of them are. This one has a good amount of forward motion on the serieswide arcs, and touches on a lot of serieswide themes (though anviliciously).Alice...
I picked this up on a whim from the teen fiction display at the library, for two reasons: one, it's by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, whose Boy/Girl War books kept my children happily entertained in elementary school. Reliable author. Two, it's about an 8th grade girl who is dealing with 8th grade life...
I think I’m officially over the Alice series. It’s just not as interesting as I thought it would be. The language has become rather easy and the chapters are so short and transparent. The title to each chapter gives so much away and isn’t the least bit original, like "Total Humiliation". Lame. Ea...
I'm calling it: this is where the Alice series goes downhill.Some detractors hate on the high school books because of the increase in sexual content, but I'll defend the series to the ends of the earth from them; I think the frankness with which it approaches sexual topics which are undeniably pa...
t's the summer before college, and Alice and her friends are working together on a cruise ship. It sounds like a fun job, but once on board, the girls realize they'll have to work nonstop. When things start going wrong on the ship, they have to roll with the punches, far from land. This felt like...
