Meet Alice. She's finding life way too complicated. When you don't have a mum and you've got to rely on your dad and hopeless brother for advice, it's not surprising . . . After all, what do they know about being a teenage girl?
Alice is fast approaching thirteen and very aware that with her mother long dead, she will become officially the Woman of the House. It's a job that comes with awesome responsibilities, especially in Alice's household. How is she supposed to look after someone as gross as her brother Lester or as set in his ways as her father? It's a full-time job in itself!
And as if that wasn't bad enough, not only does she have to cope with distractions at school, doctors seeing her naked and organising her first dinner party, but a shocking event forces her and everyone she knows to wonder a little more deeply about life and the future.
