Alice In-Between - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has been writing the Alice books since 1985, when The Agony of Alice was published. The reason these books are so hard (and so easy) to write, she says, is that she sees herself not only in Alice, but in Pamela and Elizabeth, too. There were times in her growing-up years when she did incredibly stupid things, times she took chances and was proud of herself, and times she wished the day could be erased from memory.

About the Alice books, she says, "If I had known there would be a sequel to The Agony of Alice, and then another and another, I would have started Alice in the third grade." She plans to take Alice up to her eighteenth year before she stops the series and already knows how the last book will end.

She lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with her husband, Rex, and is the author of more than one hundred books, including Walker's Crossing and the Shiloh trilogy, the first of which, Shiloh, was awarded the Newbery Medal.
