ALICE SERIES

The 'Alice Series' is a book series written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. There are three prequels to this series. The first one, ''Starting with Alice'', describes Alice in third grade. ''Alice in Blunderland'' is Alice in fourth grade. The final prequel, ''Lovingly Alice'', follows Alice through the troubles of fifth grade. The first book (after the prequels) is ''The Agony of Alice''.
The Alice series follows the main character, Alice McKinley, known as "Al" to her father and older brother as she grows up in Silver Spring, Maryland. Her mother died of leukemia when Alice was five. Alice has a hard time at first growing up in an all-male household, but her father and her brother, Lester, prove to be honest and open about almost everything Alice talks about. Alice has very little memory of her mother, often confusing her with her aunt, and seems to bear a striking physical resemblance to her, especially her strawberry-blond hair. Other characters include Alice's two best friends, Pamela and Elizabeth, her first serious boyfriend, Patrick, her next boyfriend, Sam, her prudish Aunt Sally (who frequently provides a little comic relief), Lester's many girlfriends, and of course her seventh grade Language Arts teacher, Miss Summers, whom she tries to get her father to marry (with eventual success). The Alice series broaches many topics, including relationships, dating, sex, friendship, life problems, families, God, and understanding. Because of its open and honest portrayal of life, the books have made the ALA (American Library Association) list of most challenged books for several years, making it number one on the list in 2004 for their sexual content. A movie version has completed production in Saint Louis, MO and is now in the final stages, however no official date has been released. The movie is about Alice starting the sixth grade.
