    Paperback (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, March 8, 2011)
    Everything can change in an instant. Everything. And then there is only before and after. Alice had a plan for her junior year. She’d laugh a lot, reinvent herself a little, and always have her friends right there with her. But, lately hanging out hasn’t be as easy as it used to be. Maybe it’s because everyone is a little over their heads with relationships and school and too much to do…or maybe something has changed between Alice and Liz and Pam and Gwen. Before Alice can even get her head around what that might mean, something does change. Something big. And, now nothing can ever be the same again.

Fourth grade is when everyone knows you’re a blunderbuss whether it’s part of your name or not. Alice’s older brother Lester is always tricking her into believing his made-up stories are true. It’s not her fault she’s so gullible! Plus, he’s a really good liar. But that doesn’t help when she finds herself in a mess because of something he’s invented. She can’t seem to do anything else right, either. She sneezes beans at the lunch table, gets trapped in her own snow cave, and is forced to sing—even though she can’t carry a tune—in front of her whole grade. And that’s nothing compared to the trouble she’s about to get herself into next. Alice is just about ready to chalk fourth grade up as the worst year ever!
