review 1: Light-weight read most suitable for tweens. I'll certainly recommend this debut novel by a hometown author though I was less than "totes" into it personally. (I confess, I was slightly annoyed with Audrey because she's not Meg Powers--not her fault, I know!) Knowing this was a slightly fictional Alice, I was preoccupied wondering which parts of her story were actual fact, but reading the online annotated "Alice--for real" was greatly reassuring that the fictional bits really do seem in keeping with Alice's life. Research props to Rebecca Behrens--and how fun to discover that she clearly enjoyed "Mr.Morgan's" high school music history class as much as I did!
review 2: I liked this book, which combines present day and a bit of history. Audrey is the daughter o... moref the president (her mother) and has moved into the White House. She feels cut off from her friends and under scrutiny by the secret service. She finds a diary written by Alice Roosevelt, which was hidden under a floor board. Audrey reads the diary and discovers that Alice had many of the same feelings as she is experiencing. less
