Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books All Alone in the Universe
"Before last summer Maureen and I were best friends....At least I think we were. I don't know what happened exactly. As some people who get hit by trucks sometimes say,'I didn't see anything coming.'" When her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story--a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern--discovers that even the hourly tragedies of junior high school can have silver linings, just as a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home. This first novel shines--fun, engrossing, bittersweet, and wonderfully unpredictable.Rating Of Books All Alone in the Universe

Pretty much any middle school kid could relate to Debbie's feelings of isolation. I'm pretty sure we all felt like we were all alone when we were in middle school or high school (or both). The things I loved about this story were
A wonderful story about the growing pains and friendship issues adolescents tend to suffer, but told in such a lyrical way, with a deeper message reminding us we all are responsible for spreading kindness to those less fortunate than ourselves.
Great book
ALL ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE by Lynne Rae Perkins is a book about two girl best friends named Maureen and Debbie, always being together, never not being with each other. But then someone got in between them. Glenna, a girl they knew but never took time to know started to be best friends with Maureen. Debbie was looking to find a solution but every time she tried, something would have gone wrong. Debbie didn't want to be left out and her relationship between Maureen and her to be ruin. So Debbie
When I was a preteen, I had a whole shelf full of Animorphs. Besides that, there was the entire set of Narnia, Witch of BB Pond, and at the very end -- Criss Cross.Criss Cross, also by Lynne Rae Perkins, is one of my favorite books ever. There was a lot of controversy over whether it deserved a Newberry Award, but I loved it. The book radiates summer, and kindness. The chapters are all so different -- but equally calming. Criss Cross helped me survive those summers I felt friendless.All Alone in
An MG novel - a story that so many of us can relate to. Debbie feels replaced in her best friend's life by another girl, and in her loneliness she begins noticing more about other people. A very nice story.
