Susan Juby's acclaimed first novel is now available in an edition that's all grown up. After years of home schooling, it's time for Alice MacLeod to act her age, meet new people, maybe even go to regular high school. Soon Alice is on the hunt for a look, a social life, a boyfriend and, most important, a half-decent haircut. But getting any of those things in Smithers, BC, isn't easy. Especially not with a family like Alice's.
