(2) YA Misfit Alice McLeod (Alice, I Think) enters the Miss Smithers pageant and records her observations, first in a diary and later in a self-published 'zine, as a series of narcissistic concerns and wicked comments about those around her. While her social naiveté leads to a bluntness her friends and family may not want to hear, it also makes her a charismatic character.
