INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Atkinson, Elizabeth

From Alice to Zen and Everyone in Between

(4) 4-6 Alice Bunt, new kid and tomboy, doesn't know what to make of Zenithal, a free-spirited, fashion-crazy sixth-grade boy who advises her to dress like and befriend the girlie-girls who treat him like dirt. Atkinson's predictable yet satisfying ending finds Alice rejecting the lip-gloss clique in favor of Zen's friendship, even as Zen finds his own place in the world.
