Do I Need to Read the Prequels?

Question:

Hey…i have recently heard of your series and want to get started reading them but do i need to start with the prequels to understand the series or can i start with The Agony of Alice?

Phyllis replied:

Of course you can start with The Agony of Alice. Many readers just wanted me to go back further with Alice, and that’s why I wrote the prequels. (They also wanted to see more of Lester as a teen.)
