There are, Alice decides, 272 horrible things left to happen to her in
her life, based on the number of really horrible things that have
happened already. She figures that out after the disaster of the talent
show. And she realizes that there is no way to fend them off. But, she
reasons, if you don't have a mother, maybe a sister would help. Maybe
lots of sisters. A worldwide sisterhood! Sisterhood means more sympathy
and less likely odds that the next horrible thing will strike when Alice
is by herself. But, Sisterhood also comes with a whole new set of
problems for Alice. Can she be Sisters with all three girls who want to
be her brother Lester's girlfriend? In fact, how do boys fit into
Universal Sisterhood at all? And how far should she you go when being
part of the crowd means doing something you don't want to do? Alice
copes with life in her own way, and her solutions to her endless
problems are often funny and surprisingly right.
