Publisher Description
Alice is starting high school, and everything is new. But it’s the new girl, Penny, who’s making ninth grade a real challenge for Alice. Penny is tiny and perky and a real flirt, and she seems to be focusing her attention on Patrick. Even worse, Patrick seems to be enjoying it.
Alice and Patrick have been a couple so long, Alice can’t imagine life without him. Suddenly she feels lost and unattractive and scared—not quite whole. How can Alice get back her confidence in herself, when she’s not even sure who she is?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's well-loved adolescent everygirl returns as a ninth-grader in Alice Alone.

Subplots include the reappearance of her father's rival for the hand of his fianc e and the disclosure that one of Alice's friends was molested in childhood. ( May)
