When Audrey Met Alice
By- Rebecca Behrens
Stars- ☆☆☆☆
Rating- PT+
When Audrey Met Alice is a cute little novel about how First Daughter Audrey Rhodes copes with living in the white house, with a little help from Alice Roosevelt's diary. I found this book wildly entertaining and very unique. Behrens switches from the character of Alice to that of Audrey without missing a beat, and is able to keep them unique and defined by changing her writing style, an attribute of the book I found incredibly impressive. Behrens keeps the book light and funny, full of the daring escapades of these two young girls, while using the political platform to express her views on equality. The book is a good lesson teacher, and incredibly hilarious. My only qualm would have to be the ending. It seemed to happen a bit faster than the normal pace of the book, and if it was longer it would have felt more complete and whole. I rated this book PreTeen and up because it is appropriate for anyone above that age, and would for bellow if it was not for some difficult language.
