A review by kirstenrose22
Alice in Charge by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

2.0

I have so enjoyed this series, but it has finally tipped over the edge for me. Every single book has become a Very Special Episode focusing on the Issue of the Week, and they are heavy-handed and preachy. The dialogue is stilted and unbelievable (particularly from the mouths of teenagers). The situations are contrived. If Alice's friends aren't directly involved in the Issue of the Week, they are practically invisible. We didn't even get much of Lester here, or.... anybody. Just Alice whining.
