Meet Alice.

She's been homeschooled for a decade. Now she's about to enter tenth grade. That is, if she can get the right haircut. And clothes. This brilliantly observed debut novel was short-listed for two Canadian literary awards. Wise, witty, and entirely original, Alice, I Think is a chronicle of small-town life and a window into the soul of an utterly appealing heroine.

"I wrote Alice, I Think for everybody who feels, as I do, that a book that can make you laugh is worth ten that make you cry." —Susan Juby
