August days are hot and the pool is the place to be. But not for Alice who's afraid of deep water--and afraid to admit it. Her friends begin to conquer their fears: Elizabeth overcomes her aversion to kissing; Pamela trades a secure boyfriend for a not-so-sure one. Everybody expects Alice to learn to swim. What's she to do? Others in the series include Alice in April and Alice in Between.

This book has been very vauluable in reading Harry Turtledove's World War alternative history stories.

[Nolan Boyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

Could not put this book down, the intricacies of its plot forced me to read on, although the character development was poor.

[Moran · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great German dictionary, not heavy and still holds everything. Contains a grammar section as well as super helpful appendices. Great for any German learner.

Haha, this has a listing!

I admit that I never got a grasp on German (Deutsch) to be able to properly assess how good of a dictionary this is, so I have to grade accordingly.

One complaint, which is pretty major: lowercase AND uppercase "i" looks a LOT like lowercase "l", to the point where I can't tell if it's "Heilsarmee" or "Hellsarmee" for "Salvation Army" (and, also, that seems like a curious thing to include, but okay). I mean, spellcheck thinks it's Heilsarmee, but Hellsarmee would be kind of funny, haha.

Recommended in a pinch, otherwise maybe get a cleaner printing.

It's a dictionary, so there's not much that can be said about it as a review. [return]The layout is acceptable and considering I'm most likely using it to verify my own knowledge, I can't really call it out on any errors.

Very helpful when reading historical novels or to find nicknames for little brothers. No technical stuff in it since it is such an old publication.
