Too fat. Life going sideways. Forced to move. No friends. This young woman hates her life until she discovers how a high can knock the sharp edges off of all her problems. This series of fictional diary entries have caused quite a stir ever since the book was published. As late as 2003, Go Ask Alice was still #6 in the ALA'stop ten challenged books in the country for its profanity, discussions about sex, and drug use. And it's still a favorite of teens who can relate to the issues "Alice" faces both in her addiction and her attempt to master that addiction.AWARDS: ALA Notable/Best Books
