    Love your books, Phyllis. 🙂

  7. Mariely Rebollar

    Is “I LIKE HIM, HE LIKES HER” part of a series and if so what number is it?

  8. Brianna

    I absolutely love the Alice series. I have been reading them since I was in 5th grade and now I’m goon into 9th. The books have real life situations that most girls can relate to. Thank you do much Phyllis Naylor. Please don’t EVER stop writing!

  9. Vanessa Clarke-Deaver

    I am obsessed with Alice! She is like my best friend! She reminds me so much of me. Elizebeth is just like my best friend, and Pamela seems like another one of my friends. It’s funny to see what they get into as friends! Most of the stuff that happens in the books are like things that have happened to me. I’m up to Alice the Brave now, and since I’ve described them to friends, I’ve started a trend! The Alice books are ALWAYS reserved at the library in my school, and you can only be lucky enough to get one. Thank you for writing an amazing series I fell in love with from the start!

  10. Alice

    I found your first alice book at school a year ago, my teacher said u were a wonderful author, so i started reading and got hooked since, my mom sonetimes gets mad at me for reading too late with your books!Being an expert on anybody named Alice, (that’s my name) I have to say that your books are simply a work of art- it’s showing millions of people one persons wonderful journey through life, I simply ADORE your Alice books, I promised myself I would read everyone!:)

  11. Bridget

    I love these books! I can connect to them on all different levels. Plus they are funny, romantic and suspenseful in her high school years

  12. Christina

    I love the Alice series. I remember when I first read “I like him, he likes her.” I was obsessed from the start and couldn’t stop reading! I just finished reading “Incredibly Alice.” I can’t wait to buy the last one. I wish the series wasn’t ending. These books are amazing and I can’t wait to keep reading yours books!!

  17. madison

    I love the Alice series! They are the best! I’ve only read a couple and have been trying to read the ones I haven’t and so far it is the best ever!:)

  18. Elizabeth Fela

    I just started reading the Alice books at the beginning of this year. I literally JUST finished Incredibly Alice, and am so emotionally invested in these books that I cried when she graduated. I have cried so many times during the series, but graduation was such a huge thing for Alice and I honestly felt so proud of her! I wish the series never had to end!

  19. Daisy

    Hi! My name is daisy and I just adore the Alice series. They’ve helped me understand stuff about love, sex, friends, and family. But I was wondering, is it bad to read the high school and on Alice books when I’m only in 8th grade? I’m a big fan and want to keep reading them but not sure if I should yet. What do you think?

  20. sally

    i start alice and i got hooked instantly literally. im just soo sad that the series is coming to an end soon ive loved those books its just sad i just they can make it into a movie to see if visualizations were right

  21. courtney oslon

    I loved I like him he likes her it kept my attention now I want to get my hands on its not like I planned it this way

  27. oh my god these are the greatest books of all time

  28. arigirlie123

    someone has to turn these books into movies

  29. Is Alice on board the last book ever???

  30. alicemckinley

    No, the last Alice book will be called Now I’ll Tell You Everything, and it will come out in October 2013.

  31. alicemckinley

    Thank you! Always Alice has a new title, Now I’ll Tell You Everything, and will be out on October 15, 2013.

  32. alicemckinley

    So far there’s no boxed set of the complete series, but you never know! You can get all the books from each of Alice’s high school years in four paperback books called bindups, if that helps. They are called I Like Him, He Likes Her, It’s Not Like I Planned It This Way, Please Don’t Be True, and You and Me and the Space In Between. Hope you enjoy them!

  33. alicemckinley

    I Like Him, He Likes Her is a collection of three of the Alice novels: Alice Alone, Simply Alice, and Patiently Alice. So if you’ve already read those three books, there’s no need to read I Like Him, He Likes Her too. But if you haven’t read them, it can be a great way to get all three! They come right after The Grooming of Alice.

  34. alicemckinley

    Sadly, everything great has to come to an end. Always Alice, which is now called Now I’ll Tell You Everything, will be the last book in the Alice series. But that doesn’t mean it will be my last book ever!

  35. alicemckinley

    I’m afraid I’m not sure. Please check with your local bookseller or online.

  36. alicemckinley

    Technically the high school Alice books are meant for readers who are 12 and older, but that doesn’t mean younger readers can’t or shouldn’t try them. Perhaps you can share them with a parent or an adult you trust, and you can decide together whether you’re ready to read them now or if it would be best to wait. Hope you enjoy them, whenever you get to read them!

  37. ellie

    the alice books are amazing my sister emma tries to steal them

  38. ellie

    hey alice i am a big fan i love your books but i am poor and i cant buy the rest of the books are there any books for free

  39. silyia

    I have started reading them and they are wonderful!

  41. Gaby

    Phyllis, I am such a fan! I read all the books (including the sequels) in under two weeks, and I now have no idea what to do with my time! I do actually have a question, though; what is the new name for “Always Alice?” And are there movies?? I am a booknerd, bookworm, movielover, basically anything in that area!! Please get back to me!!

    I don’t know why I thought of these books after years and years… I read them when I was in middle school. I swear, it was like I was Alice! Now I am a mom to a baby girl and I can’t wait til she reads these books! I have to get them all and actually finish where I left off because there are tons I haven’t read yet! You’ve been writing these for a while!

  44. Alice

    Thank you so much for Alice! I started reading the books with Starting With Alice in 3rd grade. Now I’m going into 11th and already preparing myself to cry my heart out while reading the last one! I’ve been able to relate to Alice with every single thing that happens to her. Thank you from your most devoted reader! 🙂 ❤

  52. alicemckinley

    Hi Sofia. You can find the books listed in order here: https://alicemckinley.wordpress.com/the-books-in-order/

    Now I’ll Tell You Everything will be the last book!

  53. alicemckinley

    The new name for “Always Alice” is “Now I’ll Tell You Everything.” And there is one movie out on DVD based loosely on “The Agony of Alice.” It’s called “Alice Upside Down.”

  54. alicemckinley

    Try finding the books at your local library! If you can’t find them you may be able to ask a librarian to special order them for you.

  55. Nadia

    I love this series! I only wish I knew about it sooner.

    When is Always Alice’s release date?

  60. alicemckinley

    The final book in the series, which used to be called Always Alice, is now titled Now I’ll Tell You Everything. It will come out in the US on October 15, 2013!

    ive been reading alice over 2 years and im still not done
    i have’nt been reading them in order though
    thats my real name too:
    Alice Mckinley Allaya Davis

  62. Jayla

    The Alice books actually is a movie… its only one, but its a spin-off of the Agony of Alice. The movie is called Alice Upside Down. The books are better, but the movie stars two Disney Celebs, Ryan from High School Musical and Mitchie’s Friend on Camp Rock.

  63. Rene

    Just finished the final book. It was phenomenal. It was written with such grace and care for every single character. I’ve read the Alice series since I was 11 (I’m now 21) and so part of me feels like I’m losing a friend. But I’m glad I now have closure to such an amazing series. I hope my daughters will read about Alice one day and enjoy it as much as I did.

    I wish I’d known about this series earlier… then I’d have been able to Fangirl over them from the beginning!
    Thanks for writing them, though. You are a genius! Alice forever.

  75. Abbey

    Im so sad that they are over but i am so glad that i have been able to grow up with alice. i started reading them in the 3rd grade and now i am in the 10th grade!

  76. Jody

    I have to say, it’s refreshing to see so many like myself. I’m always asking people if they read the Alice series growing up, and always find myself trying to explain just how awesome, amazing, and relatable they are, at any age.
    My Fourth grade teacher read aloud, “The Agony of Alice”, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Many a night spent with my night-light up until dawn, laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes– and next to me, the stack of Alice books just checkout from the library.
    I’m 31 now, and have to say how much of an impact this series has had on my life. To know you’re not the only one wondering/freaking out about: kissing, sex, relationships, bodily functions, etc… for young girls going through the tumultuous teenage years– I don’t think you could ask for a better companion to walk that path alongside, than Alice. Alice taught me that I could have the most embarrassing thing happen, like walking in on a boy in a department store dressing room– and not only live… but turn out to have a successful relationship with them!
    Thank you for sharing with us, and for so many years– like many that have already commented, these books and Alice, in general, are tales I never want to stop reading. Books are priceless, and never lose their meaning because their words evolve with us — I’d jokingly ask when the movies are coming out, but truthfully, I’d never enjoy them as much as the Alice that’s already my best friend, and has been for over 2 decades.

  77. Rose N.

    I am 30 years old, and started reading the Alice series when I was in 7th grade, about 1996. A friend left a copy of Reluctantly Alice in our locker. I was hooked, and read every book that had been written so far. As I got older, got a job, kids and stuff, I lost touch with reading and the series. I was SO excited when a few years ago on a trip to the library, I discovered more Alice books had been written, more to come. I read every one, just read the last one. It was kinda sad, but I think it was cool to see how her life turned out. Such a great series, will read them over and over again!!

  78. Karamvir

    I just love the alice books it has changed my life. There interesting and fun to read I read all of them (almost)

  79. Sara

    Thank you so much for these books. I’m only in 7th grade, but I’ve always been one to think (and worry!) about the future and how my life is going to go. Reading the Alice books has given me a realistic perspective, and after reading the final book I even see her as a role model of sorts. The best thing about your books, though, is that they show that life is precious despite mishaps and awkward moments, and that we can all learn to be happy at any phase in life. Thanks again Phyllis!! 🙂

  80. monicarosas

    hay I love the books a lot I just finished reading it s not like I planned it this way and I am going to start reading the next book please don’t be true. (:

  81. Isabel

    I started to read the series when I was in 5th grade which was in the year 1999. Wow I feel so old! I only read up to Achingly Alice 😦 I know it sounds silly but I’m finishing my bachelors so hopefully I can get some down time to finally finish reading all the books. I can’t wait 🙂

  82. Emily

    I just love Alice too much that I feel like I have a sister growing up with me,although I am an only child.The first Alice book I’ve read was in grade four,Alice In Agony, and i instantly fell in love with her.Right now I am going into grade six,and I absolutely can’t go anywhere without bringing an Alice book with me.Thank you very much for making many of us girls happy,and If
    Alice were alive,I’d hug her.

  83. Emily

    Also,did I tell you today is my birthday?If Alice were alive,I’d TOTALLY share it with her.I want to yell at Lester for forgetting Alice`s birthday sometimes.He deserved to make up fo it!

  84. Lily

    I love Alice so much that I can’t express how I’m feeling.I started reading about her in grade three.I’ve been reading Alice books for three years now,and I REALLY want her as my friend.

  85. Shika

    Hi Phyllis ! I’m shika from Indonesia.
    I’m so in love with your Alice books since i’m in junior high but sadly in my country the translated version only published 13 books outta 25 (they don’t release the prequels) 😦
    Well…now i’m ready to hunt the complete english version. I’m sooo happy to know that there’s a compilation of 3 books into 1 volume.
    Just wondering…is there any deleted chapter from each books in the compiled version? I don’t want to lose any fun details of Alice life !
    Waiting for your answer !

  86. Gracie

    love your books 🙂

  87. Emily

    I love Alice!

  88. Morgan

    We just found out I’m pregnant and have been thinking of baby names. If it’s a girl we plan on naming her Alice, all due to my favorite character and books I read as a girl! Thank you for the inspiration! Is there any way to buy all of your Alice books as a boxed set?

  89. alicemckinley

    Congratulations!

    The Alice books aren’t available as a boxed set (the box would be HUGE!), but you can buy all the books from Alice’s high school years in four bindup editions, which are called I Like Him, He Likes Her; It’s Not Like I Planned It This Way, Please Don’t Be True, and You and Me and the Space In Between. Hope that helps!
