In winter of seventh grade, Alice wants to do anything she can to feel part of the great sisterhood of womankind. She pierces her ears to join in with Pamela, Jill, and Karen's earring club. She sides with Lester's girlfriends in their arguments with him. She feels she's finally fitting in, a member of the "Famous Eight," the increasingly official seventh-grade Beautiful People. It's convenient to forget that when some people are on top, others must be on the bottom, and in this case, it's Alice...more

Alice is such an endearing character, and Naylor does not disappoint with this installment.
The character has moved on to constantly worrying about not having a mother to surviving the seventh grade. She has friends, she has family. What more could she want?
The one thing I really enjoy about Alice is how wholesome of a character she truly is. She wants to do what is best for everyone, and her questions are so simple and yet so complex. She sees things from a different perspective than the other c...more

This book picks up where the last left off and details Alice's second semester of seventh grade. She takes her first sex ed class and bravely brings up this subject in the presence of both her father and brother. She spends some time in the popular clique and shops with the Earring Club every weekend. During this time her friendship with Elizabeth suffers and the two don't spend much time together so hopefully that will be remedied in future books. Lester continues to have girl trouble, but seem...more
This book is the seventh in the series, if you count the first three prequels. In this book is where I realized Alice and I about the same age. Naylor published All But Alice in 1992, Alice is in 7th grade, that's when I was in seventh grade! I'm kind of sad I didn't have these books back then because it describes exactly the feeling junior high girls have!

I feel like all of my reviews thus far for the Alice series begin by sharing how awesome it was. Honestly, this book is no exception to that. I love that this is the type of series that can ultimately grow with you or your child. Alice goes through what so many kids go through. She learns that it is better to be yourself than to try to always fit in. She also learn more about herself and how she is changing. I think this is a great installment and I am excited to continue my journey with Alice!
I missed the target age for these books, and I can't get my daughter interested in them, so I'm just reading them myself. They are quite entertaining. I would have loved them at that age.
ceritanya tentang cewek kelas 7 yang (katanya) punya masalah seberat gunung. menurut gue? Alice ini konyol banget. oke, dia nggak punya perkumpulan sial dan sebagainya, terus apa masalahnya sih? dan lagi, seolah dia punya masalah paling berat sedunia padahal kalau dipikir, simpel aja.
mungkin itu adalah tanda seorang remaja, seolah dialah yang paling penting. tapi jujur, gue agak iri sama Alice. hidup kelas 7-nya jelas lebih asik daripada gue. *emo mode*

Alice is thinking about Universal Sisterhood. Not much happens in here (though I was very happy when Alice rejects the Earring Club girls.....).
Pembawaan cerita gak terlalu berat. Tapi, masak finish gitu aja? atau ada lanjutannya ya? aku gak gitu ngerti sih -_-
#7 in the series.Alice joins the All star earring club and her dad begins dating her Language Arts teacher.
Like all Alice books thus far, it was enjoyable in a comforting way. The author really does capture childhood feelings in a realistic way.
Alice realizes that maybe being part of a crowd (or the wrong one for you) can be worse than being alone.

It was a good book, but I don't get why she wanted to be popular so bad.
I was VERY happy with Alice's decision at the end of the book!
F NAY alice bk.4
Good book
it's good
Once again Alice personifies what it's like to be a seventh-grade girl. In this one all she wants to do is fit in with everyone else, even if it means doing things or being part of clubs she doesn't like. Lester continues to have to choose between two girls, and Alice's dad continues to have a relationship with Alice's teacher. I miss Miss Plotkin though, I wish Alice stayed in touch with her more.

Me and Maggie Haley are reading this really good book together right now. I would only recommend this book for fifth graders and up!
I like this series more now than when I read it as a kid. The books are realistic and the trouble Alice gets into keeps me flipping pages.
Alice's story is the epitome of what many girls go through in middle and high school. Seeing things from the outside in really puts everything in perspective. Why did we all want to dress the same? I guess that's just part of growing up.
Alice feels left out a lot recently. Her dad and brother have better things to do, and her friends have joined an earring club when Alice doesn't have pierced ears. What's a girl to do?
The Alice books aren't as awe-inspiring now as they were half a lifetime or so ago, but they're still very much a fun read and definitely very important.
Valentine's Day in seventh grade. Funnier than Alice In-Between, mainly because of the romantic misadventures of Alice's older brother.
4th book in the series
in which alice joins an earring club and becomes wildly popular...but isn't sure if she likes it.
