Alice in Rapture, Sort of: Volume 2

This is, yet another, great book by Phylis Reynolds Naylor! I relate to Alice a lot with her nervousness when it comes to kissing and all her feelings and situations. The characters tossed around a bit in the last book, start coming to life a little more, but we still don't know a lot about them. This story is chock-ful of emotions, new and not so new, and I highly recommend it.BLESSED BE!!

It's one of the early Alice works (actually the second), but it's my favorite. Phyllis Naylor catches all the joys and pitfalls of being twelve and in the middle of a romance she doesn't know how to go farther with. Alice puzzles over such things as what to talk about when you're on the phone with a boy, whether you should kiss outside on the porch or not at all, and whether or not you should get your boyfriend a birthday present that you think he would enjoy: who knows if he has that record or book anyway?I'm only thirteen - a year older than Alice in this novel - but I found through its frank discussions it answers a lot of the questions I had. It's an Alice book not to go unnoticed. That's for sure.

It is a must for three girls to have a boyfriend when they enter the seventh grade. In this story, the three girls are best friends. One event in the story happens like this. Alice, the main character, invites her two friends to go with her to the beach with her dad. Alice's brother will be arriving later. Well, Alice hasn't had a new swimsuit, so her dad buys her a bikini. One of Alice's friends gets all the attention from the other boys, and she has a boyfriend!!! When Alice's brother arrives on Saturday, he says he has a surprise for Alice. Guess who it is? The best part of the book are the personalities of the characters, especially Alice. I recommend this book to girls age 11-14.

I loved this book!I read 5 other books so far about the adventures of Alice.I've got to say,Phillis Naylor is an incrediable author!In my binder right now,i have Reluctantly Alice and her newest book.I just love them!I just wanted to say thanx to her because i can't stop reading!

This was an awesome book! I recomend other people to read it or have someone read it to them. It tells about how a pre-teen deals with problems in funny and strange, yet serious ways. It's funny parts include Alice's friend Pamela loosing her swim suit top at the beach, having Pamela's boyfriend find her up lift spandex ahh bra and Alice leaving her purse in the car on a date. A serious part was when Alice wanted to break up with her boyfriend and be "Special Friends." If you read this I hope you enjoy it alot
