A Novel

Alice's memorable last year of high school is being overshadowed by some very difficult situations. A sudden increase in vandalism at the school leads Alice to discover an angry and violent group of students--teenage Neo-Nazis. Then an awkward hallway encounter gets a classmate to confess that a new, attentive teacher has been taking advantage of her. All at once, Alice's safe and comfortable school starts feeling strange and serious--all this plus the normal senior year pressures of college applications and life-making decisions. Alice has two options: step up or melt down. The choice is simple, and true to the character that readers have loved for years....Alice steps up--in a big way.

April is the cruelest month," said the poet, and Alice McKinley would agree. April is a hard month. Not that she doesn't have some fun. It does begin with a wonderful April Fool's Day joke on her brother, Lester. But it also begins with Aunt Sally reminding her that she will soon be thirteen (as if anyone could forget something so important) and then she will be Woman of the House, since her mother is long dead. It is an awesome responsibility. All her life she had assumed that her father and Lester were there to take care of her; now she is going to have to take care of them. Taking care of Lester, alone, could be a full-time job, she thinks. Being Woman of the House has all sorts of drawbacks. For example: It never occurred to her that when she suggested her father and Lester ought to have physical checkups, her father would insist that she have one too. How could you let a doctor see you naked? Of course, Alice is still in school. And there she faces another crisis. She might be Woman of the House at home, but in school she needs a different kind of name, one given by a table full of boys in the cafeteria Depending on their figures, girls are being given state names -- some states have mountains and others do not. Will flat, flat Delaware or Louisiana be her fate? Alice lives in fear that it might be, though even worse is the fear that she might not get a name at all. The month ends with a dinner party for her father's birthday (part of being Woman of the House) that has more downs than ups -- and with a totally unexpected event that makes Alice and everyone she knows grow up a little and wonder a little deeper about life and the future. April is a hard month, but reading about Alice in April is to find that most tragedies (though not all) pass and tears can turn to laughter and delight.

Alice Series

With graduation, a wedding, a pregnancy, and a college decision in store, the end of high school is harder--and more emotional--than Alice ever imagined.

It's the last semester of senior year, and while Alice and most of her friends are out looking for prom dresses, another classmate is shopping for a wedding dress--with room enough for a baby bump. It's strange to see someone she's known for so long make the big leap into adulthood. "Till death do us part" won't be coming out of Alice's or Patrick's lips for a long time--especially because they aren't going to be able to even SEE each other for more than a year. Patrick is about to leave for Spain, and prom night could be the last time they're together until the following summer! But Alice isn't sure how "memorable" she wants to make it....
     Full of the ups and downs of being a teen--and all the big and small moments along the way, Alice's senior year is something readers have been waiting for. Will graduation feel like the end of childhood...or the beginning of something new?

Dangerously Alice; Almost Alice; Intensely Alice

Everything can change in an instant. Everything. And then there is only before and after. Alice had a plan for her junior year. She’d laugh a lot, reinvent herself a little, and always have her friends right there with her. But, lately hanging out hasn’t be as easy as it used to be. Maybe it’s because everyone is a little over their heads with relationships and school and too much to do…or maybe something has changed between Alice and Liz and Pam and Gwen. Before Alice can even get her head around what that might mean, something does change. Something big. And, now nothing can ever be the same again.

Roxie and the Hooligans are back and this time, Smoky Jo is swiped by a kidnapper who is as blunder-prone as Roxie, Uncle Dangerfoot, and Lord Thistlebottom are clever.

Roxie is back! And that means the Hooligans are not far behind. The last time we saw the lot of them, they were being honored as town heroes for thwarting a bank robbery. Now these friends find more trouble afoot...that is, Uncle Dangerfoot to be exact. Roxie's most beloved uncle is taking her on vacation to a beach house, and of course the Hooligans sneak along.

But their little beach vacation is not what it seems when the Hooligans unveil the secret invention Uncle Dangerfoot has been hiding from his nemesis, who would do anything to get his hands on it. So when one of those rowdy, messy, trouble-making Hooligans goes missing, the suspect is obvious. But, when it comes to those LOUD, mess-making, rambunctious, always-hungry, ill-mannered Hooligans, what's worse: Missing a Hooligan? Or staying sane while keeping her hostage?!
