My daughter (9) absolutely loved these books. She went through them as fast as I could get my hands on them. She even chose to dress up as Allie for school book character day - not too bad since we were able to make the costume up pretty much from clothes already in her closet! :-) Then we passed the books on to her friends who have also enjoyed them.

Allie thought her life was going pretty good during holiday vacation. Her family got a new game system and she was anxious to share it with her friends when they came home from vacation.
Right before school starts up, one of her friends tells her that their teacher said they are going to have a new student when they come back. At first, Allie isn't too excited about this. But once she finds out that the new student is a girl and from Canada, the excitement sets in.
Though on her first day back, Allie is asked to sit in the back of the classroom with all the annoying, gross boys so the new girl, Cheyenne, can sit up front with the girls and feel welcome in her new class . Not long after Cheyenne starts going to Allie's school, she and her friends realize that she isn't that great.
Mostly, she's just bossy and rude. She thinks that all the girls in the fourth grade should be "going" with boys because that is the mature thing to do. Pretty soon, she ends up getting most all of the girls to even go with all the boys, but not Allie. Allie is determined to stand her ground and to not be bullied by this bully.
This was a really cute third book in the ALLIE FINKLE'S RULES FOR GIRLS series. Meg Cabot has the perfect voice of a girl in the fourth grade. I can just picture Allie and her friends. I thought some parts of this book were a little out there, but even so it was a cute read. I'm sure young girls (and even boys) around the world will enjoy this book, and the rest of the series.
I love all the little rules she makes up. My favorite rule in this book was: "Boys can seriously be so stupid sometimes. Also deeply thoughtless." So true!
