A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Alice could be anyone...could be someone you know...Alice uses drugs...

Fifteen, white, middle-class, Alice seems to be fine. She is doing well at school. She thinks someday she'd like to get married and raise a family. On July 9th, Alice is turned on to acid. She figures life is more bearable with drugs than without. Alice's life is never the same again.

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

Présentation de l'éditeur

Alice could be anyone - she could be someone you know, or someone you love - and Alice is in trouble ...

Being fifteen is hard, but Alice seems fine. She babysits the neighbour's kids. She is doing well at school. Someday she'd even like to get married and raise a family of her own. Then she is invited to a party, a special party where the drinks are spiked with LSD and Alice is never the same again.

This tragic and extraordinary true-life story shows the devastating effect that drug-abuse can have. But the big difference between Alice and a lot of other kids on drugs is that Alice kept a diary . . .
