Absolute Pleasure to Read Your Books!
question:
I began reading your books when I was about eleven. I am now seventeen… I think the same age as Alice will be in your new book!
I hadn’t meant to, but I guess I lost track of your books after Including Alice. School got to be busier, I started working, etc. etc. I recently saw Patiently Alice on my bookshelf and reread it. I realized how much I missed the books, and promptly ordered the last four that I’ve missed! I guess you get letters like this a lot, but I still wanted to tell you what an absolute pleasure it’s been to read your books -all of them, not just Alice. They’re always relatable, sweet, and funny.

Thanks so much for your email. It’s always fun for me to hear from someone who got too busy to read the books for a while and then suddenly picked them up again. You have a lot of catching up to do, and I wonder if you will feel that Alice has matured in the same way you have. It’s different for different girls. Look for “Intensely Alice,” due out in a week or so, and “Alice in Charge,” coming out next June.
