Alice-by-Accident

(2) 4-6 Nine-year-old Alice ponders her "true private life" by writing in her special notebook. An apparently irreparable split between her overprotective, single-parent mother and her paternal grandmother has Alice wrestling with divided loyalties throughout the book. The structure of the novel, which combines Alice's journal entries with stories she writes for school, is a bit complicated, but Alice is a likable, well-developed character with an authentic voice.
