I Knew Where the Books Took Place

Question:
 
I am a huge fan of the Alice Books! I started reading the series when I was in third grade. My older cousin was giving away a bunch of books and she gave me the first nine. I have read every single book at least once. I am now a senior in high school and just finished Now I’ll Tell You Everything.
 
The Alice Books have had a huge influence on my life and growing up would not have been the same without them. I could always find something to relate to in the books and sometimes when I had a problem similar to one Alice had, I would go back and read to see what Alice would have done. Something I also found neat was that I live in Maryland and knew where a lot of the books took place. I was really sad when I read the last page of Now I’ll Tell You Everything, knowing that there weren’t going to be anymore Alice adventures. But I will probably continue to go back and reread the books because I love them so much!
 
Thank you for writing such a wonderful series! These books have been an inspiration to many young girls, especially me.

It must be fun to read books about your city, all the places you know so well.  Thanks so much for writing to me!
