Book Reviews of Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last
Book Review: Moose, Mom, and Moods
Summary: 4 Stars
In the third Alice novel, the overdramatic Canadian teenager deals with a long-distance relationship, attempts to write a screenplay, works a series of odd jobs - oh, yes, and an incarcerated parent.
As with the previous Alice novels, this is a comedy, so the issue is still treated lightly and with love: Her peace-loving mother gets arrested for protesting, and her absence shakes up the already off-kilter MacLeod household, as Alice's long-time-slacker father has to get a job. Shock and horror. Meanwhile, Alice manages to both assume and avoid additional responsibilities at home and at work.
Alice's screenplay, Of Moose and Men, starts off the book. It is a work-in-progress which, more often than not, is an extension of Alice's daydreams and worries. Her overdramatic writing makes for a fun story-within-a-story, and the final scene of the script also serves as an ending to the book. This outing will amuse teen readers, especially those who enjoyed Alice, I Think and Miss Smithers.
