From the Publisher:
In between, that's what Alice decides she is. During the spring of seventh grade and the summer that follows, she feels she is neither child nor woman, and waits, not so patiently, for beauty to blossom.
About the Author:
As she turns 13 and her older brother, Lester, takes her out on the town, some almost grown-up things happen to her, but there are unexpected dangers attached. And a marvelous trip to Chicago with her best friends, Pamela and Elizabeth, proves that "in-between" may not be such a bad place to be after all, when Pamela, acting too old for her age, attracts some unwanted attention, and Elizabeth promptly goes into shock. And when Patrick comes back into Alice's life again, she realizes she doesn't have to rush things.
Being 13 has its advantages, she decides. Taking the pencil test, buying a hermit crab, and taking part in long conversations about life and sex are all a part of her world now. Alice is glad that the first seven grades are over with and she's a teenager at last, but she's also happy she does not yet have to face some of the problems -- mostly with girls -- that her brother faces, or even her father. For anyone who is in-between (and who isn't?) Alice in-Between is a book to savor.
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has been writing the Alice books since 1985, when The Agony of Alice was published. The reason these books are so hard (and so easy) to write, she says, is that she sees herself not only in Alice, but in Pamela and Elizabeth, too. There were times in her growing-up years when she did incredibly stupid things, times she took chances and was proud of herself, and times she wished the day could be erased from memory.
About the Alice books, she says, "If I had known there would be a sequel to The Agony of Alice, and then another and another, I would have started Alice in the third grade." She plans to take Alice up to her eighteenth year before she stops the series and already knows how the last book will end.
She lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with her husband, Rex, and is the author of more than one hundred books, including Walker's Crossing and the Shiloh trilogy, the first of which, Shiloh, was awarded the Newbery Medal.
