"If you say it enough times in your head, it will come true (sometimes)." (Allie Finkle)
Allie Finkle is a likable character and she has an extremely authentic voice. Many of her experiences in The New Girl, such as living in a new house, being a new girl at school, worrying about her future kitten and dealing with a school bully, are things that 4th graders can relate to.
Allie gets a lot of advice (good and bad) about how to deal with being bullied, but I liked the manner in which she dealt with the school bully. I also enjoyed any interaction that involved Grandma.
The New Girl is a fun and hilarious addition to the Allie Finkle Rules for Girls series.
