My review -
In
this book for young adults, Alice Parker is a thirteen year old with all the
typical problems. A major one is her older brother, studying science at Oxford.
She begins to find her school work easy and gets top marks in subjects into
which she’s put no effort. Great, you might think. Not so when it leads to problems
with her classmates. It’s not just her sudden acquisition of brain cells that
leads to such a change in Alice’s life.
This
is a lovely story with an interesting premise. It’s something a bit different
and the dialogue between Alice and her best friend and her brother rings so
true. It’s got problems and difficulties for Alice and her friends to solve – it’s
not all plain sailing – but it’s a great feel-good story. Excellent for old and
young alike.
