''[[Go Ask Alice]]'' is a novel by youth counsellor Beatrice Sparks, first published in 1971. It is the story of a troubled young woman who seeks solace in drugs and the counter-culture. She comes to grief as a result. It is famous for its [[Drugs Are Bad]] message, being banned for references to sex, rape and drugs, and almost certainly being a fake. Rather than being a [[Real Life]] diary of a young drug addict, it is the work of Beatrice Sparks. It is classic [[School Study Media]].▼

The novel is a dark [[Coming of Age Story]]. The work takes the form of a "diary", the keeper of which is [[No Name Given|not named]]. Usually she is called Alice, from the title, but her name is actually Carla, and Alice is an addict who she briefly meets on the street. Carla is a sensitive fifteen year old girl, alienated from her conservative parents and initially without friends. When she does start making friends and discovers the [[The Sixties]] counter-culture she also encounters drugs. Her first experience is benign: she is unwittingly given LSD at her friend Jill's birthday party and has a pleasant trip.
