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 :

A teen plunges into a downward spiral of addiction in this classic cautionary tale.

January 24th
After you’ve had it, there isn't even life without drugs...

It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth—and ultimately her life.

Read her diary.
Enter her world.
You will never forget her.

For thirty-five years, the acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teenage girl’s harrowing decent into the nightmarish world of drugs has left an indelible mark on generations of teen readers. As powerful—and as timely—today as ever, Go Ask Alice remains the definitive book on the horrors of addiction.
