On my book bag I proudly wear a pin which declares "I Read Banned Books." I now have to get one which says "I Proudly Review Banned Books!"
The ALICE series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has been in the top ten of books which are challlenged every year. I bought most of the series for my youngest daughter, who loves them. She loves the realism of the stories & how the feelings that Alice has are just like her own. And I love them because Alice is a normal girl: she may get into trouble, but she learns from her mistakes & so do the readers.
DANGEROUSLY ALICE finds Alice in her junior year of high school. She works on the school newspaper & has a terrible crush on Scott, the editor of the paper. She has also been labeled by the "cool" crowd as MGT, which means Miss Goody-Two-Shoes.
Alice decides that she needs to be a little more reckless & not so boring. She does a few daring stunts, but after she does them she figures out that being boring is not as bad as some people think it is. Liking yourself & doing the right thing is what is important.
I especiallly like the way that Alice gets along with her relatives. She has a great relationship with her brother & father. She is having trouble getting along with her stepmother though, & the situation is handled realisticallly & with compromises on both sides.
I love the Alice books & can't wait to read the next one.
