wow. this is pretty cool. when you've grown up an 'alissa' in a world of 'jennifers', it's always fun to see something with your name. i found my name (spelled correctly) on ONE thing growing up - a lightswitch plate which i still own - from when i was 6. but now they have a series of 'alissa' books. she even has brown hair and blue eyes. :) according to amazon:

These bright, independent, and curious girls are ready for almost any challenge. They'll take you on exciting adventures to places you've always dreamed of--and some you've never imagined.

to top it all off, she's a princess. :) take that, jennifers! hee hee.
