Moving Day

by Meg Cabot

Published 1 March 2008

Moving Day is the first in Meg Cabot's hilarious series for younger readers, Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls.

Allie Finkle is ten years old. She's got two annoying little brothers and a dog called Marvin. She's also got a bunch of rules - most of them, like 'Don't get a pet that poops in your hand', having been discovered through bitter experience. In this funny, fast-moving series, Allie makes (and breaks) rules all over the place as she deals with everything that life can throw at her.

In Moving Day Allie absolutely does not want to move house. Moving means leaving behind her pretty pink room and her best friend, Mary Kay. The new house is cold, old, dark and creepy, and there is almost definitely a zombie hand living in the attic! Listening to your parents is a golden rule, but how can Allie convince her family that moving is a very bad idea?

Best Friends and Drama Queens

by Meg Cabot

Published 1 March 2009

Allie is excited when Cheyenne joins her class - now she won't have to be the 'new girl' any more! But Cheyenne wears zip-up boots, likes boys, thinks imaginary games are for 'big babies' and tells everyone what to do. Still, Allie won't be bossed around - it's time to teach the 'new girl' some tough rules! Such as ...Friendly people don't tell other people that their games are babyish. Snowboots may not look as good as high-heeled zip-up boots, but they will never let you down. All you need is friends.

Stage Fright

by Meg Cabot

Published 7 August 2009

Stage Fright is the fourth book in Meg Cabot's hilarious series for younger readers, Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls.

When Allie's class puts on a play, every girl in Room 209 wants to try out for the part of the princess - including Allie, Sophie and (ew!) Cheyenne. Not everyone can be the leading lady - but who will try to steal the show, who will get scared, and who will get a tiny bit jealous? Some not-so-friendly competition puts some of Allie Finkle's rules to the test . . . There are no small parts. Only small actors. May the best man - or woman - win. If you want to get anywhere, you can't play by the rules.
