Preview Outrageously Alice - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Well, I was getting one thing straight, I decided as I walked to the cafeteria. I was getting across the fact that I wasn’t sweet little Alice McKinley anymore—a generic type of girl with no imagination or style. NOW THAT SHE IS SETTLING INTO EIGHTH grade, the class she used to envy, Alice McKinley is discovering that it isn’t all that exciting. But maybe it’s up to her to make this year as thrilling as she thought it would be. Out with the old, plain-Jane Alice, in with the new, stylish, creative Alice. She’s sick of being boring. It’s time to be outrageous! But what if outrageous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? What if Alice finds herself in situations that are more embarrassing than they are wild and fun? Is Alice destined to be the same boring girl forever?
