Reviews

"At its heart, Next to Alice is a story about not judging people too quickly ... [Gareth Conway's artwork] complements the story beautifully ... it really does illustrate why Fine is considered one of the best children's writers around." -- Trans-Scribe, blog


"Anne Fine successfully treads the fine line between showing her readers how, with a little effort, life can be rewarding without preaching or becoming didactic in tone." -- A Library Lady, blog
