Glitter Girls (Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls)

by Meg Cabot

Glitter Girls is the fifth book in Meg Cabot's hilarious series for younger readers, Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls.

Allie is mega excited when Erica's big sister Missy enters the regional Twirltacular baton competition and Erica is allowed to bring all her best friends to watch. But Allie is also invited to Brittany Hauser's birthday party on the same day and will be driven in a stretch limo to the famous Glitterati store, followed by a night in a five-star hotel. Allie really wants to see Missy perform and she thinks Brittany and her friends are snobby, but riding in a limo is a lifelong dream! She decides a little white lie is the best way to keep everyone happy – until everything goes spectacularly wrong and Allie realizes she's made a big mistake. Allie has to learn the hard way that bending the rules is a dangerous game . . .

"I am seriously the best actress in the fourth grade. Possibly the world." (Allie Finkle)

In Glitter Girls, Allie has to make a choice between going with her friends to support Erica's sister, Missy, at her baton twirling competition or going to Brittany Hauser's fancy birthday party where she'll get to ride in a limo

Allie is an extremely likable and realistic 9 year old. She makes plenty of mistakes, but she always tries to do what's right.

I enjoyed the overall message about friendship in Glitter Girls. I was also reminded about just how mean 4th graders can be!
