Thirteen! It's finally happening. Alice McKinley is an actual, official
teenager. But the problem is, she still sort of feels like a kid. Wasn't
being a teenager supposed to feel different? Turning thirteen happens
overnight, but the teenager stuff takes time--and a little more patience
than Alice has at the moment!
Still, being thirteen does have its advantages, she decides. Alice is
allowed to do more exciting things, like take a trip to Chicago with her
two best friends. And when she takes a good look at all the relationship
problems her older brother has, she realizes that in-between can
sometimes be the perfect place.
