Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day, by Meg Cabot

Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls: Moving Day, by Meg Cabot
(Grades 3-5)

Allie Finkle has rules to live by like, “don’t get a pet that poops in your hand” and “if you don’t want a secret spread around, don’t tell it to Scott Stamphley.” Some rules are easier to follow than others. When Allie finds out she’s moving to a new house and a new school, life gets decidedly more difficult. She had a fight with her best friend, who wasn’t the greatest friend anyway and now isn’t speaking to her, there might not be room for her at her new school, and she isn’t entirely sure that there isn’t a zombie hand living in the attic of their new house. Allie navigates school and family life with hilarious results, standing up for herself and finding her own unique solutions.
