Alice In-Between

Alice McKinley is so hillarious! This is by far the best book in the Alice series. I read them in my spare time at school, and we will be sitting at our desks, and I'll just start cracking up, and everyone will be looking at me like, "What is she laughing about this time?" I definitely reccomend the entire Alice series to anyone. Even boys at my school are reading them! They are a hot commodity, therefore they are on demand at the library, and have even all been out several times. Bottom line: Buy the Alice Books and read them!

Alice in between is a great book, it is basicly about Alice who has waited all her life to be 13. Now that she is not a kid anymore, she often talks with her girlfriends about their bodies and the boys at school. On the train trip to Chicago with her friends, Pamela is harrased by a older man . During this delightful time Alice becomes in touch with her ex-boyfriend Patrick again and they celebrate his 13th birthday. Her summer of the seventh grade will be an amazing time that Alice and you as a reader will never forget this cool book.

Alice in Between is my favorite book in the Alice series, of 12 books. It tells about Alice McKinley, who has just turned 13 at the end of seventh grade, and expects it to be wonderful. However, being a teenager and at an "in between" age is harder than she thinks, though she and her friends still have some great, often hilarious times together. A fancy date, taking the "pencil test", and going on a train trip to Chicago are a few of the things that happen. This is a book that all girls 11 and up can relate to, I'm sure! I've never read a book that is so true to life - Phyllis Naylor is amazing! If you liked this book, be sure to read the others in the series.

I feel for Alice. I know what she is going through. I go to some of the places she goes and I live 3 streets away from where she supossedly lives. I go to the junior high that she goes to. All the things Alice goes through are real including SGSD (seventh grade sing day reffered to in one of the later Alice books.) I think that Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is an excellant author. I also recomend for anyone in 7th grade or above that you read Year of the Gopher, also by Ms. Naylor.

This book was so good I read it for one day straight! I do that only when a book really captures my interest. I can't believe how good Phyllis Naylor is at writing like she's a real teen! Only one very small problem here. Naylor stressed the "in-between" thing too much, which might have been what the book was supposed to be, but I am also in "the summer between seventh and eighth grades" and I don't worry much about my age. Naylor was very good at keeping me amused enough to read the whole book, especially the part in the Amtrak going to Chicago, the experience with Bill Donovan. That was a realistic part. (It's still Pamela's fault that she's too much of a flirt sometimes.) Any Alice fan would want to read this book and it's practically a guarantee that you'll enjoy it.
