Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up–In her third book, Alice is facing grade 12 with several changes in her life. Her boyfriend is spending the year in Scotland and then wants to go to a college far away. Her best friend is in a pre-vet intensive program. And to top it all off, her mother has gone to prison for protesting at a mining facility. Her dad is forced to get a job, his first, and so is Alice. She waitresses, leads hikes, and helps out at Betty Lou's yarn shop. By the end of the book, she is still working, still trying to figure out boys, and has finished the play she is writing. Chapters alternate between the teen's diary entries and scenes from her screenplay in progress. Alice is an individual who will keep readers laughing. The dichotomy between what she describes and what readers are sure is happening will lead to smiles, and her experiences will ring true to many teenage girls. Her hippie parents and super-smart brother lend a few laughs. The book will be a hit with fans of the series and with readers who like romantic comedies.–Amy Patrick, New York Public Library

Gr. 8-11. The inimitable heroine first met in Alice, I Think (2003) is back for more adventures in nonconformity. Homeschooled for 10 years and recently returned to public school, Alice comes from a family steeped in nontraditionalism. In this saga of her seventeenth summer, she must endure a breakup with her boyfriend, would-be beaus who disgust her, her inability to get or keep a job, her mother's incarceration for protesting a smelting factory, and a new therapist who refuses to coddle her. Fortunately for the reader, all is told with deliciously dark humor; one of the best parts is the ongoing screenplay Alice constructs, with herself as star. Yes, Alice is annoyingly self-absorbed, but she's also very aware of it, and her dead-funny voice makes her even more sympathetic. While readers of previous Alice titles will obviously get more out of this than those new to the series, teens meeting Alice for the first time will catch on quickly and will likely be charmed.
