Alexandra returns in three more super, interwoven stories. Good thing her VBF (that'¬?s Very Best Friend) Liz and Liz'¬?s hip older sister Rachel are around to give Alexandra some advice about crushes. But Alexandra'¬?s on her own when it comes to surviving her first "F" in school and (sort-of) making peace with her Monkey Boy brother. Luckily, when it comes down to actually speaking to a real, live Human Boy, Alexandra finds out that her courage was there all along. — Second in the ALEXANDRA RAMBLES ON! series.

About the Author:
New Yorker and 'tween expert KAREN SALMANSOHN is the best-selling author of lots of books for adults including How to Be Happy, Dammit! (Ten Speed Press).
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-6-A creative book in three chapters, each with doodles, side quips, arrows, and outrageous color combinations. Bright Magic Marker inks completely fill each page in contrasting colors, lime green and hot pink or pink-and-orange spirals with text encased in lime green boxes. The busy format will be scrutinized for encrypted messages, amusing subplots, and typical `tween soul-searching questions. In chapter one, Alexandra is excited about her invitation to Vicky's Halloween party and is steaming mad because her weird mom not only arrives home late, but she also walks in without the movie-star costume Alexandra is planning to wear. All of the preteen's anger is scrawled across the pages until Mom comes up with a creative solution. Dropped off at Vicky's door, Alexandra discovers that the party was the previous day. While she sits in the kitchen listening to Vicky's mom talk to some other mothers, she realizes that they are dull, dress the same, and that her mother is actually pretty cool. The second chapter deals with cliques, worrying about what other kids think, and the importance of an honest VBF. Finally in chapter three, Alexandra discovers how much her dad really loves her when they head out to dinner together and begin to truly communicate. Yes, the protagonist does ramble on, but she does so with meaning and resolve. Readers who enjoyed Marissa Moss's "Amelia" books (Pleasant Co.) will love Alexandra and her musings.
