"Starting With Alice" is the first book in the trilogy of prequels of the Alice series written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. It was released on September 1, 2002 and documents the ups and downs of Alice's third-grade year.

Plot

The book begins with Alice moving from Chicago to Takoma Park, Maryland with her single father and older brother. As the new girl in school, she doesn't know a single person except for her next-door neighbor Donald Sheavers, who is not only a boy, but also seems to be a little bit peculiar. She gets off to a rough start when she meets the three snooty girls whom Alice nicknames "the Terrible Triplets" after they make it clear they don't want to get to know her. Along the way, she makes some new friends, gets a cat, attends a wedding, attends a funeral, confronts bullies and continues to learn about the world around her.
