Question:

Alice, Pamela, and Elizabeth are my best friends! When I read an Alice book, I feel like I’m right there with them, talking about the same things! I have a few questions though…

Did you write the Alice books starting from 5th grade up? Or did you start in the middle and write the earlier books later?

How come Alice looks different in a lot of the book covers?

Is the girl who does the photos for Alice look like how you picture Alice?

Are Alice and her friends a lot like you in your childhood?

Thanks for reading I love the Alice books and so do all of my friends! We all got hooked on them when we were 10 and we still read them now! Thanks for writting my favorite books that I will never forget

Phyllis replied:

I wrote “The Agony of Alice” first and later wrote the three prequels. The art department decides on the covers, and sometimes used illustrations, sometimes photographs. Sometimes the characters look like I described them, sometimes not so much. Some of my friends resembled the book characters, but mostly I made the characters up.
