Alice in Charge by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
4.0
just when i think there is nothing else PRN can throw at alice...and let me remind you that alice and her friends have experienced sexual assaults, divorced parents, homophobia, abusive relationships, leukemia, multiple deaths of loved ones, teen pregnancy, racism, alcohol related accidents, suicide, cruel pranks, and countless other teen problems...PRN brings in...
NEO-NAZIS!!!!!!!!
i'm sorry. i know that neo-nazis exist, and they must exist in high school too. and i know that i said this last june when the last alice book came out...but how many problems can one group of teens have?! the early books in the series seemed more lighthearted, just your everyday gaffes and misunderstandings, but every book since then has had One Big Serious Issue to consider.
the best thing about this book was when alice tries to go visit colleges for the weekend and everything goes wrong. this is so something that could have happened to me when i was her age, and it's these sorts of situations- not the heavy-duty ones- that keep me reading this series.
another thing i've mentioned in the past is how out-of-date PRN tends to sound, and it seems like she's doing a bit better. (with some exceptions.) then i checked her author profile and this chica is 77 years old. holy cats! no wonder she uses the word "slacks" for pants and says "funky" like it's a good thing. way to go, phyllis. i still like your books after all these years.
