Please Don’t Make Alice 60!

Question:

Please don’t make Alice 60 in the least book (sad to hear it’s final BTW) Come on she is 18 and once in 3rd grade, it’ll ruin the whole series! And what fun is it to write about a grandma? Is she going to be 6o through the WHOLE book!??????????? She can’t be!!!! Please maybe 30 or 40, before it’s published, but remember I’m not making u. But I do love Alice and I’m looking forward to Always Alice.

Relax.  Take a deep breath.  The final book will be around 500 pages long, and Alice starts out at 18, goes through college, goes through her 20’s, her 30’s, her 40’s and 50’s.  There is a LOT happening, so you won’t want to miss any of it!
