After attending her first ever bridal shower, 13-year-old Alice McKinley realizes just how naïve, plain, and BORING her life is. Now that she’s in eighth grade, she feels like she’s ready for a new Alice—one who has an appearance that attracts attention.

It’s not just her appearance that she wants to change, though. Patrick, her on-and-off boyfriend of over a year, seems to be extremely childish to her at times. Meanwhile, the new boy at school, Justin, is attracted to the pure and naïve Elizabeth; Alice’s older brother Lester continues to have girl problems; and her dad STILL hasn’t asked Miss Summers to marry him! How will Alice get through eighth grade if she has to do it all by herself? ( )

i LOVED the alice books growing up! i definitely recommend them to all girls around 9-10 and up, and the good news is that she's still writing them! so the series starts out when alice is in elementary school and now she's in high school! ( )

I thought this book had some good parts but it was very confusing for me so I wasnt so sure about it. ( )

Wow! Another great one of Phyllis's awesome books!
Alice has a way of being funny without really knowing it, which makes it all the more enjoyable for the reader. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689805969, Paperback)

Now that she is setting into eighth grade, the class she used to envy, Alice discovers it isn't as exciting as she thought. She's tired of being the same old Alice, and longs to be a bit outrageous.

Instead, she finds herself in situations that are more embarrassing then they are thrilling. She likes dressing up as a showgirl for Halloween, but hasn't counted on what happens in the broom closet at school. And she's delighted to be a bridesmaid, but feels awkward at the bridal shower. Even Patrick begins to seem childish to her.

Elizabeth and Pamela, however, her two best friends, feel that life is changing too much for them. Elizabeth finds that a new a boy at school is attracted to her, while Pamela faces a serious problem at home. Lester, too, Alice's brother, can't quite believe he's losing his old girlfriend, Crystal. When Alice dials Miss Summers, however, the woman her father loves, there is always the hope that this time she will get the mother she has always wanted.
