I really loved this installment and I'm unable to pinpoint why. I think overall it just teaches a very nice lesson about tolerance. Just because people are different than you that doesn't provide you with the grounds to be cruel or to treat them any differently. Alice was a great example of tolerance this go around. I'm excited to continue my journey with her! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Here we have, a semi-formal dance, a (dangerous) social experiment at school*, a sex-ed lesson from Carol, Alice's budding sexuality, Pamela's near exploding sexuality, a friend who comes out as a lesbian, Alice's first black friend (she seems to live in a pretty white-bread world. I doubt too many black middle school girls have fallen in love with Alice as many white girls have.) A birthday that is overlooked (or is it?) etc.
I thought it was one of the better books in the series.
*The school social experiment will likely ring some bells for the few adult readers of the series. It's the kind of experiment that some college professors have developed, using their students as willing subjects, and generally with horrifying results. And to Naylor's credit, at the end of the week of the experiment, Alice's school is near the breaking point because of it. She acknowledges through the story, that in spite of what you may learn from them, experiments like this can have many frightening and disturbing unintended consequences. I certainly hope no real middle school ever tries anything remotely like this. ( )
