Alice Ozma tells the story of how she and her father, an elementary school librarian, set a goal when she was in fourth grade of reading together for one hundred consecutive nights and continued on until she went away to college, and discusses the bond that developed between her and her dad, and the life lessons she learned from their time together.
"Presents a series of vignettes describing how the author's father challenged himself to read aloud to her for one hundred consecutive nights when she was in fourth grade and how they decided to continue "the streak" until the day she left for college."
"Named for two literary characters ("Alice" from Lewis Carroll and "Ozma" from L. Frank Baum), the author is the daughter of a Philadelphia-area elementary school librarian. Father and daughter embarked on a streak of reading-out-loud sessions every night before bed as Ozma was growing up - a "streak" that would continue for eight years straight."

"When Alice Ozma was in fourth grade, she and her single father - a beloved elementary school librarian - made a promise to read aloud together for 100 consecutive nights. Upon reaching their goal they celebrated over pancakes, but it was clear that neither wanted to stop. They decided to continue "The Streak" for as long as they could - until the day, a remarkable eight years later, Alice entered college."
