Her parents notice changes, but they don't know what's happening. They can't help her. The difference between Alice and a lot of other kids on drugs is that Alice kept a diary...

'An extraordinary work...a document of horrifying reality' New York Times Book Review

'A book that all teenagers and parents of teenagers should read' Boston Globe

'It shows the awful pressures which plague even the 15-year-old who needs all her energies to cope with growing; the isolation of one who wanders off the track, and, alone, finds it impossible to fight her way back.' Guardian
