Alice in Charge by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
2.0
I've been reading the Alice books since the late '80s; the first one was published in 1985. We're almost at the end -- maybe three more books? At this point, the 20 years (oh my god) I have invested in this series is the only thing that keeps me reading the new ones. It feels like Naylor is creatively done with these series, but since she's come this far, might as well finish the whole damn thing.
Naylor should get credit for tackling hard issues in her books, but my god, at this point, it's a frickin' laundry list. It's more like Degrassi Junior High, without the charming bad fashion and Canadian accents. There was one episode of this book I liked -- Alice and her older brother tour colleges -- and the rest of it was so boring and contrived.
