Customer Reviews

Best Alice book!

Although this book contains some "adult" content, it still is a very good read. Alice learns the value of skin and hair color, when her school sponsers a week of judging people by hair color. A dance is coming up and Alice and her two best friends have fun getting ready for it. Alice's friends also learn some values and one gets sexually abused. This book is really good with a suprising twist! Read it for yourself!

alice on the outside

Alice, a 13 yr. old eigth grader, is getting ready for alot of changes. Her friends are doing things without her. She also learns about racism not only with color. This book puts into words how alot of kids feel. But somethings are alittle unrealistic. Girls in particular will love this book.

Information Undercover?

As most kids read these books and think that they are great, that they can really relate to Alice, they may not be seeing what else they can get from her. Alice asks questions and goes through things that many kids are too shy to ask about or their parents don't discuss with them. Through these books, you can get accurate information in a way that you won't be embarrassed about but still are entertained. Alice is a modern hero: realistic and down-to-earth but still has the problems of a normal teenager.

Alice is Awesome as Always!

Alice is so much like a normal girl and it's incredible. She answers some of my questions about kissing or relationships without even meaning to sometimes. I can't wait for the next book!
