In this book Alice is becoming a teenager and is now "woman of the house" and goes a little too far with the idea. Read all the other Alice books too, they're great!

About to turn 13, Alice McKinley is preoccupied with her aunt's statement about needing to be the "Woman of the House" for her widowed father and older brother Lester. Her best efforts, however, usually turn to disaster...

To make matters worse, the seventh-grade boys are naming the girls after various states...depending on the size of their chests! Alice lives in terror, uncertain which would be worse: getting dubbed the name of a flat state, or being overlooked altogether.

Readers will enjoy hearing about Alice, who is just an ordinary girl going through ordinary things, but in such a humorous and interesting way, they can't help wanting things to turn out okay...

Alice in April is about a girl who is having trouble with boys giving the girls at school nicknames of a state by it's geography, in other words ,"hills or no hills". If you like books that are funny, maybe even true life, Alice in April is the book for you.

Superb! Wonderful! Gorgeous! Extroidonary! Lovely! All right, guess not! This book provides an even FURTHER look into Alice's life and the characters--oh, the characters!--just pop even more. I feel like I'm standing right next to them! I found the topic of the pelvic exam for Elizabeth wonderful! Not many young adult fiction writers will even touch on those subjects that girls really need to know about. More sex talk and descriptions of a pelvic exam, so beware for tender minds who can not handle that information. These books seem to keep you blushing harder with every installment and that's really what we need in today's young adult fiction! Bravo, Phylis!

Blessed be!!

This is a really good book if you are 12 , 13 or 11.. bucause it talks about grownig up.Alice gets a physical and she is worried about what is going to happen when she is there. read this book it is good!!!

This book can relate to many young teen girls. Alice's fear of going to the doctor's is like many other girls. It will continue the series---be sure to read the rest (The Agony of Alice; Reluctantly Alice; Alice in Rapture, Sort of; Alice in Lace; All But Alice; Alice In-Between; The Grooming of Alice) I loved all of books in the series----they are available right here on Amazon!

I'm only 12, but this is the best book of the hundreds I've read. Alice McKinley's aunt reminds her that she's almost 13 and will be Woman of the House soon. (Her mother died when she was four.) Alice gets a head start on her womanhood by cleaning the entire house, having her father and brother get physical checkups, and throwing a birthday bash for her father's fiftieth birthday. Besides that, she must survive the latest crisis at school: the boys are matching the girls' chest sizes with a state according to its mountains' heights! Perspective yet hilarious! My favorite book ever until the next Alice book comes out

I think Alice in April is a great book. When Alice's Aunt Sally tells her she is now the "woman of the house" Alice goes overboard trying to become the woman of the house. She also struggles trying to plan her dad's fifteth birthday party. Alice learns that doesn't have to be the woman of the house. A great read for anybody. READ THIS BOOK!

Alice in Aril is a story about a girl who is twelve years old and is trying to become the women of the house. She is trying to find out what state the boys are going to give her because they have given all of her friends names of states, and she is trying to plan her dad a suprise party for his 50th birthday. The only help she has is her aunt that lives far away.

this is a hilarious book about alice and her friends. it talks about being uncomfortable about growing up and trying to like it. Alice is told by her aunt that she is now woman of the house and that she is responsible for everything that goes on in her family's life.
