Alice-Miranda takes a bite out of the Big Apple!

Alice-Miranda is in bustling New York City. It's a blur of skyscrapers, hot dog carts, chats with zoo animals, and classes at Mrs. Kimmel's School for Girls, right next to glorious Central Park. Her family's glamorous department store, Highton's on Fifth, has just been renovated, but plans for the fabulous re-opening party are going curiously wrong. Is that why Alice-Miranda's father Hugh seems so worried? And why is her new friend Lucinda so shy about inviting Alice-Miranda home?

Review

"Jacqueline Harvey has penned a tightly-woven and detailed plot in her latest Alice-Miranda adventure. Children as young as seven or eight will delight in Alice-Miranda's adventures and her purity of heart, while older readers (10-12) will enjoy the elevated plot threads, language and relationship subtleties. Alice-Miranda in New York is a story of family, friendship and honesty. . . I loved sharing the journey with Alice-Miranda who is, all-in-all, a remarkable little girl."  —Boomerang Books Kids' Book Capers

"Alice-Miranda has a beguiling ability to enchant those around her and an enthusiasm for helping people in need. This new series, with its sprightly, resilient heroine, who is sweet without being cloying, offers readers a lively blend of humour and intrigue."  —Kirkus Reviews, on Alice-Miranda at School

'[Alice Miranda's] effervescent personality lends itself well to the novel's hyperbolic atmosphere, and her optimism is contagious."  —Publishers Weekly, on Alice-Miranda at School

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2012
My 8 year old loves the Alice Miranda series and especially loved Alice Miranda in New York. It may have been the fact that she has been to New York and could relate with all the places mentioned. These books are adventurous with great characters and always gets my daughter thinking on a deeper level about friendship and looking at things positively.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cardboard characters, stilted dialogue
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2012
I was taken in by the jacket blurbs about a protagonist "who is so delightful and enchanting that you're tempted to ignore your own children". Little Alice-Miranda is a Pollyanna-ish wind-up doll who never misbehaves or has an unkind thought. This book reads like a retarded Sunday School teacher's fantasy of what children are like. Puke, puke, puke.
The heroines of children's literature who have stuck with me in the 40 years since I read the books are Claudia (The Mixed-up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankenweiler), Ramona Quimby (Ramona the Pest), and the girl from The Secret Garden. Do spunky, imperfect kids like this exist in kids' books these days?
Persevering with this book so as not to waste the cover price. I hope Alice-Miranda gets run over by a yellow cab. That'll wipe the smile off her simpering face.

I'd like to contradict what former reviewer said;
Once you've read the first book it's not worth reading any more.
