The Girl at the Front Desk

Her senior year wasn't supposed to be spent with REAL seniors who often couldn't remember why they came to her reception desk...but as Brook's heart opens to these colorful and eccentric people, her whole world is suddenly turned upside down. When 4 female veterans, a man who thinks he is a time traveler, and a host of other unique elders befriend her, the almost dead seniors teach her what it means to be truly alive, and Brooke comes to the realization that there is little difference between seniors in high school and seniors in senior living.  Alex's 45th novel is poignant, funny, and should be read and enjoyed by anyone 15-85.
