Alice In Lace

As Alice begins the eighth grade, she suddenly finds herself planning her own wedding. In heath class, Alice and her friends are given hypothetical situations to help them make wise decisions. Some students "became" pregnant, planned a wedding, bought a car, planned a funeral, and received a DWI. As the story progresses, the eighth graders realize that their assignment in health class becomes a reality shock. As part of their assignment, they had to experience their situations fully. Alice comes to realize that eighth grade is exciting yet complicated. Complications include trying to plan a wedding with the absence of her mother and learning something about her last year's English teacher, Ms. Summers, who is dating her father. Some exciting events were when one of her brother's old girlfriends makes a surprising announcement and a new person arrives. This is a great book; it gives students insight and connections to the real world. By reading the book, the reader can become part of the eighth grade health class. The book is very easy to read and keeps you on your toes. You will not want to put it down! This book would be interesting to students in seventh and eighth grades. Parents and teachers could use Alice In Lace to bring the awareness to the students about what lies beyond the classroom. In the classroom, teachers could promote social relationships, math, art, music, and geography.

Alice never knew life was this complicated...

"Alice in Lace" was another great novel on Alice McKinley, an ordinary 13 year-old girl.In this novel, Alice and Patrick are getting married, Pamela is pregnant, and Elizabeth is buying a car. Not to mention Karen shoplifting and Jill burying her grandmother! What? Well, it's all part of the Critical Choices unit in Alice's 8th grade class: everyone receives a hypothetical situation and solves it. This book was filled with humor, especially when Alice and her friends try to solve their situations! Teenages can really relate to this book. :) Be sure to read all of the other "Alice" books!

The best Alice book!

All the Alice books are great but this is definatly the best! In Mr.Everett's class they each get an assignment- Alice and Patrick are getting married, Elizabeth's buying a car, Pamela's pregnant, Karen got arrested for shoplifting, ...and Jill has to bury her grandmother. Read it now to find out what happens.

This is a "must read" book for any 12-14 year old girl.

I love it. This was the the first book I couldn't put down. I read it for a book report project. I loved the book so much I read the whole Alice McKinley series. I suggest this book to any 12-14 year old girl. I liked the part where they threw a wedding for Patrick and Alice in class. The other part I liked was when Pamela was intervewing for a job looking pregnant. These parts were just the half of the good parts in the book. You'll have to read it to believe it.

The best alice book ever !

Alice and Patrick are getting married,Pamela's pregnant,and elizabeth is buying a car! Well,at least in Mr.everrets health class.They all have to make "critical choices'.I can't tell you what pamela did,but it is so funny!
