SUMMARY: Alice and Lester lived in a small town with
their Dad. Their mother died when they
were young. When Alice’s dad starts
dating again, Alice goes through a rough patch thinking that he is forgetting
about her mom and no longer has time for them both. Alice also believes everything her brother
tells her and this leads to some funny situations.
HOW
I WOULD USE THIS BOOK AS A TEACHER: I
think this book is great for social reading as well as showing students that
people do go through not so pleasant family situations and come out just fine.
