Alice at EIGHT--and boy was she a pistol! The very youngest book in
the beloved series gets a makeover.
Eight-year-old Alice McKinley wants pierced ears, really long hair, a
pet, and, most of all, a mother. Oh, and some friends would be nice. As
the new girl in third grade, Alice doesn't know a single kid in Takoma
Park, Maryland, except her next-door neighbor Donald Sheavers, who is
not only a boy, but seems a bit peculiar, too! Desperate to meet people,
Alice learns that making friends is harder than it seems when she runs
into a group of girls whom she nicknames the "Terrible Triplets" after
they make it very clear that they do not want to get to know Alice.
As Alice navigates the ins and outs of third grade, there are plenty of
bumps, giggles, and surprises along the way. Every girl should grow up
with Alice, and with this irresistible new look, a whole new generation
will want to.
