In this twenty-fourth series entry, Alice hatches a plan to visit Patrick--overnight; Naylor gets Alice's nervous/excited anticipation about the event just right. The author packs a lot of issues into the rest of Alice's summer: volunteering at a soup kitchen, encountering a born-again Christian's zealotry, and, finally, trying to make sense of a senseless tragedy. Hopefully, senior year will be less hectic.
