I see what you mean.  I read that email several times and decided that what she was telling me was that, like Alice, she has an older brother and, like Alice, she’s embarrassed about everything.  Then she asked me to write more books (meaning about a girl who’s embarrassed about everything).  Since I didn’t think she was really asking me a question, I just told her the number of Alice books, thinking perhaps she didn’t know about all of them.
