Alexandra is like any 12 1/12ths-year-old: she'¬?s just starting to figure out who she is-and who these people called her family and friends really are. Lucky for us, she writes and draws about it with humor and some wistfulness in this collection of three boldly illustrated and handlettered stories (plus three microcosmic chapters). Animal lover, embarrassed daughter, true-blue pal-Alexandra is the best friend young readers have been waiting for.

The third and final title in the Alexandra Rambles On! series. At 12 years of age, Alexandra is sure she is old enough to handle scary films and a solo trip to New York City. So why is the best part of seeing Psycho Killer on Hilton Lane the time afterward, when her mother tucks her into bed?
