From the Author

The Trouble With Alex is fun summer (or anytime) reading.
Have you ever had something all planned out and then someone comes along and throws a twelve-pound sledge hammer through your crystal plans? Well, that's what happens to fourteen-year-old, honor student, entrepreneur, Kelly Lathrop. She has a summer agenda to die for: playing goalie for the Rowdies roller hockey team, building up her budding business, Lawns by Kelly, and swimming in her best-buddy Austin Trueblood's great back yard pool. No adult supervision required in her first, best summer of freedom. THEN, her recently divorced aunt wins an all-expenses-paid, six-week vacation, and guess who's elected to baby sit Aunt Janet's nine-year-old, brat-in-training son, Alex. Kelly is not thrilled. Neither is Alex. To complicate matters further, Alex has some secret summer plans of his own. Follow Kelly and Alex through a summer of disasters to an unexpected understanding.
