Will Pass These along to my Daughter

Question:

 

For as long as I can remember, I have been reading the Alice series with great enthusiasm!  Alice has had me captivated since the day I purchased one of her books back in early junior high.  Although I am now twenty years old, I still continue to buy and eagerly read each new book.  I feel as though I have grown up with Alice because, in a sense, I have.  It feels as though she is one of my long distant friends that I hear from every year, and although another long span of time has past, we reconnect instantly.  I continually chuckle aloud as I read about her mishaps and goofy shenanigans.  I even cried along with Alice as she dealt with the loss of ——- and other events throughout her adolescence.  You have such a knack for tuning into how girls think and feel in any given situation!  Alice and her friends have taught me innumerable lessons throughout my life, and I know I will be truly sad when the last book is published and her stories cease to be written.  However, her stories will not cease to be read and experienced by girls everywhere.  I know that someday, when I have children of my own, I will pass these books along to my daughter and she will fall in love with the Alice series just as I did.  Thank you for contributing your time to this amazing book series!

These are some of my favorite fan letters–women who are still reading Alice long after they’ve passed her in age.  I think you will like the final book, “Always Alice.”  Thank you so much for writing to me.
