Narration Toward Books Almost Alice (Alice #20)

Is it possible to be too good a friend -- too understanding, too always there, too much like a doormat? Alice has always been a good friend to Pamela and Liz, a best friend to Pamela and Liz. But she's starting to wonder where that leaves her: What am I? An ear for listening? An arm around the shoulder? And then there's Patrick -- after ending their relationship two years ago, he's suddenly calling again, and wants to take her to his senior prom. What does that mean? As Alice tries to figure out who she is in relation to her friends, she learns one thing -- sometimes friends need you more than they let on...especially when the unthinkable happens.

Always honest, brave, and true, the Alice series never flinches from big issues, and never discounts the small ones.

Write Up Out Of Books Almost Alice (Alice #20)

Yikes! The unthinkable happens (and when you think back to Alice in Lace, the irony is SO there)...but the resolution was really a cop-out.I still think of Alice as the teen girl with a middle-aged woman's brain. She's so reasonable, sensible, practical...great example for teen girls, compared to the trash that's out there nowadays (I know because I read the trash too), but sometimes funny when contrasted with the moments when she acts like a teenage girl. Though I must admit that her

It's the spring semester of junior year. Alice has been promoted to a higher position on the school newspaper, and Patrick has asked her to the prom 5 months before it happens!The plot is pretty thin with this one, with the exception of Pamela's pregnancy. I was really surprised and curious to see how this would play out, but was rather disappointed when Pamela had a miscarriage on prom day, and called Alice to let her know. It seemed really out of place and a bit too sitcom-y.

I'm so happy that Alice and Patrick seem to be getting back together! Wow Pamela had a real scare there but luckily things worked out. Alice is a little more mature now, the new house addition is finally finished, and Liz gets even more daring. I'm glad Alice finally got over her hopeless crush on Scott and I like that they got to go to the dance as friends, which made her realize that they're just friends. Loved the part with Bill's mom on the sofa.Alice's stress over the PSAT, and the SAT to a

I'm tentatively saying this was for work, because I don't think I'd have picked it up if it hadn't wandered across my desk. As usual, Alice is--well, not quite as pure as the driven snow, but certainly has herself under much better control than her friends. The writing still clunks across the page--I doubt if that will ever change--but on the whole this volume of Alice's life seems far more tame than the previous ones. I'm all for frank discussions of sex and bodies, but Judy Blume did it much

Spring of her junior year, Alice goes to several dances(view spoiler)[ and rekindles her romance with Patrick (hide spoiler)]. Pamela performs in the school musical, enjoys her first nice boyfriend, and has a traumatic experience(view spoiler)[ when she realizes she's pregnant (hide spoiler)].Bottom Line There are some juicy bits in this one, but it's not what I would call good. It feels like a mishmash of random Alice mini-stories with no overarching plot, themes, or character growth for Alice.

I wasn't quite sure if I should include this on my list...but I've been reading this series since I was in elementary school and I still check the YA section of the library every now and then to see if there is a new one out, so, why not? And it's even more fitting to post after having a recent conversation with a friend about assigned novels in high school, as this series deals with a lot of the issues that come with being an adolescent - but mostly in a light and funny way. Awkward,

Almost Alice feels so realistic it's almost scary. I will recommend my daughters read this when they get a little older because Alice's contemplations of her friend's situation was better than any lecture on the subject. A well-balanced combination of humor and seriousness. A few laugh-out-loud moments. Not a huge change in protagonist's character arc, but the subtle change makes it believable and relatable.
