Alice

Finally, Alice is thirteen. But being a teenager isn''t always as fantastic as Alice dreamed it would be. A sophisticated night on the town with her brother, Lester, and an overnight train trip to Chicago with Elizabeth and Pamela are exciting, but they also give her a first-hand look at some of the perils of grown-up life.

The problem is, Alice doesn''t really feel like a grown-up. But she doesn''t feel like a kid anymore, either. She feels in-between -- and that''s a pretty confusing place to be!
