Review
‘The second Alice title builds on the strength of its predecessor. A story of
the ups and downs of early-teen friendship and a dysfunctional family in the
Jacqueline Wilson genre’ — Irish Examiner The Irish Examiner ‘A must-read for
girls aged 10 and up, this has the Jacqueline Wilson touch, Irish-style. The
best friends element is expertly portrayed, while the lows as well as the highs
of the girls’ relationship are revealed. Another triumph … this is the
modern, fast-moving and un-putdownable sequel to Alice Next Door.’ — Evening
Echo Evening Echo ‘Portrays vividly that friend many will recognise: funny,
smart and able to push you farther than you know you should go … rings
beautifully true’ — Inis Magazine Inis Magazine ‘An excellent book to have in
the library as it portrays life outside the traditional family setting, and
also just to give 10 to 12 year olds the pure enjoyment of reading a good
story.’ — InTouch Magazine In Touch Magazine
It’s spring mid-term, and Alice has invited Megan to visit her in Dublin.
Megan is hoping for a nice trouble-free few days with her best friend. No such
luck! She soon discovers that Alice is once again plotting and scheming. It
seems that Alice’s Mum Veronica has a new boyfriend. The plan is to discover
who he is, and to get rid of him. Alice, (with poor Megan in tow), becomes
totally horrible in an effort to scare the poor man away. Can this possibly
work? Just how horrible can she be? And how can Megan stand by and watch while
her best friend turns into a total monster?”
