Books in Order

Question:

I am a big fan of your Alice books and I’m so confused. How many books are there on total now because Amazon says there are 24 but your website says 21….. I am confused, I think you are right though. I just wanted to check because I didn’t want to read them out of order. Thanks! have a great rest of the summer!

Go to the Alice website, www.alicemckinley.com and you will see “The Books in Order” at the top of the page.  Click on it, and it lists all but the last few books.  (I’ll ask our tech guy to bring it up to date.)  The missing ones are “Alice in Charge,” “Incredibly Alice,” and the two that are yet to come out, “Alice on Board” and “Always Alice” (2012 and 2013).  What may be confusing is that the publisher recently put all three books of her freshman year in high school in a fat paperback edition and titled it “I Like Him, He Likes Her.”  They put all three books of her sophomore year in a big paperback and titled that, “It’s Not Like I Planned it This Way,” and the three books of her junior year have been published in a collection titled “Please Don’t be True.”  When “Alice on Board” comes out next year, they will publish the three  books of her senior year in a big paperback, but I don’t know the title yet.  The very last Alice book that will end the series, “Always Alice,” will probably appear all alone–whether they will eventually include that in a collection, I don’t know.
