erine 's review for:
The Agony of Alice
by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
I remember reading this series as a kid, but didn’t recall any of the plot. The story holds up really well. The only dated thing that stuck out to me was Alice’s brother having a beer at 18.
Overall, this is a very nicely done portrait of a young girl navigating a new school and growing up. Alice finds herself longing for the pretty sixth-grade teacher, but ultimately finds a kinship with her own teacher - less conventionally beautiful but with more substance. Alice also grows into herself, gets to take an adventure, and makes some friends.
