The Truth About Alice

201 pp. | Roaring Brook | June, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-909-2 $16.99
(4) YA After supposedly having sex with two boys at a party, Alice's bad reputation is perpetuated through text messages, bathroom graffiti, and other forms of rumor-mongering. For most of the novel, we learn about Alice through what others allege about her; salacious details and Alice's eventual romance with a sympathetic boy distract from the serious issues at the heart of the story.
