Achingly Alice
(1998)(The tenth book in the Alice McKinley series)
A novel by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Alice decides she needs priorities in her life. What kind of future can you have if you don't plan? Priority number one: get Miss Summers, the beautiful English teacher at her school, to marry Alice's widowed father. After all, they've been dating for a year. The only problem is the vice-principal, Mr. Sorringer. He wants to marry her too.
Love, Alice finds, can be complicated, even in her own life. She has been Patrick's girlfriend for almost two years. So why is she interested in other guys?
But Alice isn't the only one with problems. Her friends Elizabeth and Pamela have their own troubles -- with family, with boyfriends, and with very personal matters that Elizabeth doesn't even want to discuss. If only there could be one day a week when things would stay the same: no embarrassing surprises. Life isn't like that, however, and Alice has to be ready for whatever comes next.
Genre: Children's Fiction
