Do You have to Start at the Beginning?

Question:

Hey! i just got Alice Alone, and i hadn’t realized it was a series, but i heard really great things about this book and the whole series.
so what i was wondering was, do you have to start from the beginning to understand what’s going on?
Or can you pick up any where, and read?

Phyllis replied:

Ideally, it would be great to start with “Starting with Alice,” when she was eight, and read the books in order, but only long-time fans have done that. Even though Alice gets older in each book and much has gone on before, it’s possible to read any book at any point in her life and enjoy it.
