Collecting the Books for my Daughter

Question:

I read The Agony of Alice the year it came out. I was a fifth grader. 🙂  I've
been an Alice fan ever since.  I recently re-discovered your blog after having a
broken link bookmarked for months.  I was pleased to read that you have the
final book written and tucked safely away. I hate waiting a year between new
books, but knowing that you have the final book written somehow makes the
waiting easier.

I wanted to say thank you for the series.  I appreciated Alice as a pre-teen and
teenager, and I appreciate her even more as a mother.  I'm collecting the books
in hardcover for my preschooler.  Alice has aged well, and I suspect she'll
still be relevant a decade from now when my daughter is ready for the books. 
Technology changes, but the sorrows and embarrassments of teenage girls has
stayed very much the same.

I love it when I hear from moms who read the Alice books when they were younger.  How wonderful that you are collecting the books for your own daughter.  You're so right--times change, but feelings--love, embarrassment, sorrow, and all--remain the same.  Thanks so much for writing to me.
