Publisher description
Come and meet Alice. Here she is on the brink of being a teenager and
discovering that life is just one big embarrassment. Things are not made any
easier by the fact that she has no female role model - Alice's mother died when
she was four - so there is just her father and older brother - and what could
they possibly know about being a girl and growing up? Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's
lively, witty style, mixed with poignance and perception, has captured the
essence of adolescent anxieties as we follow Alice through the trials and
tribulations of growing up. It's the summer holidays and Alice and friends,
Elizabeth and Pamela, are learning the secrets of junior high success -
including the absolute must of having a boyfriend. Fortunately Alice has
Patrick. But Patrick the boyfriend is alot more complicated than Patrick the
friend. Somehow life was simpler when they were just friends and Alice didn't
have to worry about the etiquette of kissing or what to buy him for his
birthday. A funny, authentic book that deals with the transition from best
friend to first boyfriend. For Alice it's going to be a good summer, even though there are problems.
How will she cope with Lester, her older brother, and how should she behave
with Patrick, her boyfriend? She wishes there was an instruction manual she
could use.
