When Alice Ozma was in 4th grade, she and her father decided
to see if he could read aloud to her for 100 consecutive
nights. On the hundreth night, they shared pancakes to
celebrate, but it soon became evident that neither wanted to
let go of their storytelling ritual. So they decided to
continue what they called "The Streak." Alice's father read
aloud to her every night without fail until the day she left
for college. Alice approaches her book as a series of vignettes about her
relationship with her father and the life lessons learned
from the books he read to her. Books included in the Streak were: Great Expectations by
Charles Dickens, the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, Harry Potter
by J. K. Rowling, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis
Carroll, and Shakespeare's plays.
