Summary: What can I say? GREAT, THAT'S WHAT!
Comment: GREAT!! This story is very realistic and I wholeheartedly recommend it with the usual warning I give when reviewing Alice books: Only read this yourself, kids, or ,adults, give this book to someone if you are sure they will not faint if they see read some sexual things, which they're are a lot of in the Alice books.
Again, this a wonderful book and really provides an insight into a young girl's mind. I actually suggest boys read the Alice series to get a little understanding of how girl's minds work.
Blessed BE!! :) :) :) :)

Summary: It is about fitting in with certain peers*
Comment: All but Alice was a great book to read. It is about when Alice wants a bulletin board, her ears pierced, and even joins two clubs-The Earring Club and the All-Stars Fan Club. She works at the Melody Inn for three hours and wants to be part of the "in" crowd at school.
Alice may act different in this book out of the other books, but I know how that feels. You act different when you are in a different and a snobbier club and then realize of how idiotic you were to people who didn't pick on you at all.
It is not like Alice picks on anyone in this novel, but it was cruel of her to embarrass her friend Elizabeth like that. One of the Three Handsome Stooges likes and picks on Alice a lot. Alice feels different and one of the Popular and the Beautiful people at her school.
But the truth is, Alice gets so sick of Brian (one of the 3 Stooges) picking on her. Even in one of the chapters, he puts her face in the snow for fun like it is funny. And on Valentine's Day, her ex-boyfriend Patrick comes over and gives her a big box of chocolates.
Alice didn't realize that she had to share them with him for some weird reason. So Lester tells her that and she reinvites him over.
Lester has a Woman Situation again! Loretta Jenkins (who works at his dad's store) likes him! Lester just wants to take a break from dating and concentrate on homework. Or, in other words, L-I-F-E. Meaning a "non-female-dating-crisis" life.
And turns out that Alice's dad goes out with her 7th-grade Language Arts teacher Miss Summers. Again. And he gives her a Vivaldi cassette. AND, turns out that Alice becomes herself again, kisses Patrick again (because he threw up on the bus and Brian told Alice to make fun of him when he comes back but she comes to the rescue and they talk and then kiss on the bus. Yep. Just like that!), and quits the Earring Club (I think) and the All-Stars Fan CLub.
The letter Alice wrote to a famous rock-star was very funny. Even though it was a joke, the person in charge of it mailed it to the star!
This was a good book for peoples out there who have trouble fitting in with the right people. Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is a great author and knows how to describe a junior-high girl's life today.
So if you're bored, then I suggest reading All But Alice.

Summary: How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people...??
Comment: It's a new year, a new semester, a new chapter in the life of Alice McKinley, and she couldn't be happier. Alice is suddenly elevated to the ranks of the beautiful people, part of the "Famous Eight." And all because she pierced her ears??? Hmm...The fourth book of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's Alice McKinley series continues the humorous yet realistic trend of the previous installments with great sucess:
Alice's father is now dating the beautiful Ms. Summers, and Lester is...serious about a girl? What shock. Alice and Pamela both get their ears pierced and join the Earring Club. Unfortunately, this leaves Elizabeth out on her own, and Alice isn't entirely sure this is what she wants. Paired off (via a list taped to a blackboard) with the "best looking boy in the whole 7th grade," Alice finds that she still infintely prefers her special friend Patrick. Above all, Alice continues to approach each situation with her good humoured, though easily embarassed, personality.
Hey, what can I say? Yet another good book in the Alice McKinley series. But look out! Things only get better (an definitely funnier) from here on...
