Abstract
Bender, Alexandra Sabina (2007). Alana's Advice: Where There is a Clique You've Got to Think Quick. Bethel, CT: Crown House Pub. Pages: 151 Price: ISBN: 9781845900755
Alana's Advice is a fictional account of events in a middle school, during the final two weeks before the start of summer vacation. Alana, the protagonist, writes an advice column for her school newspaper and her friend Jackie is a contributor to the paper as well. They conflict with the editor, their classmate Jane. The story follows Alana's frustration with Jane's behaviors and her triumph over the petty scheming, jealousies and fights. Alana's advice is to be both smart and compassionate in responding to bullies. The ability to take the perspective of the bully and recognize their challenges helps turn Alana from a target into a friend. [1st paragraph]
