Almost Alice

(2) YA This series entry finds Alice struggling with self-doubt. Her ex-boyfriend Patrick is back in the picture, but everything recedes into the background when her friend Pamela discovers she's pregnant. Naylor confronts head-on the seriousness of unplanned pregnancy; the lack of blame and judgment is realistic and commendable. The book ends on a hopeful note, but everyone--including readers--takes away a valuable life lesson.
