Author Barbara Kerley at Hicklebee's (public event)

Hicklebees Books in Downtown Willow Glen in pleased to present author Barbara Kerley! Barbara's latest work, What to Do About Alice has received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, Horn Book, Booklist, Kirkus Reveiw, and School Library Journal.

"This sassy biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth validates President Theodore Roosevelt’s famous quip about his oldest child: 'I can be President of the United States, or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.'"

Spunky and headstrong, Alice “was hungry to go places, meet people, do things. Father called it ‘running riot.’ Alice called it ‘eating up the world.’” Readers can follow Alice sneaking out at night; riding trays down the White House stairs; or diving, fully clothed, into a ship’s pool... What to do about Alice? Enjoy!
