I LOVE THE SERIES SO MUCH

Hiya! I just wanted to say that I have fallen in love with the Alice series again!!! During this time I have a lot of time on my hands and I decided to read my favourite book series again!! I am 16 and relate to Alice so much and all the questions that she asks her dad and Lester are all the questions I want answering! I’m am on ‘please don’t be true’ which is around the age i’m at the mo! I think Patrick has made my expectations for boys very high, I love him!! I wanted to say thank you so much for this series, if i have children I hope to give them to them to read as they are so amazing!! I hope you are well. –

I appreciate your email so much, and yes, I am well.  It was fun putting myself in Alice’s place all through these books–as I must do with every character in every book–but I enjoyed asking the questions I wished I’d had the nerve to ask someone when I was her age.  “Please Don’t be True” was especially fun to write because I worked for a few years at a University of Chicago clinic, but that was a long time ago.  So I asked an Alice fan of mine who had attended that school to scout out a bench where Alice and Patrick could be alone, and he found the perfect spot.
