Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls

Have you ever moved before? Well, this book talked about someone that moved. Here a girl named Allie Finkle is very mad because she is moving. Her best friend is a cry baby. Allie is sad, mad, and happy about moving.

I like this book because maybe you had moved before. Also I like the book because I moved before. When I heard that I was moving I felt happy. I felt happy because there was a girl who wasn’t nice. Also in the book there was a girl who was not nice too so I can connect with that.

My favorite part is when Allie’s room got fixed up. Her room was very old. They got new wallpaper. She was scared when her room wasn’t fixed.

I also like that the book has real events that can happen to you. Also the book is very humorous. One thing that was funny is when they had a cupcake fight. An exciting part in this book is when she was moving. This part is important because she can meet new people. You should read this book because this book is very real!

Thank you, Root for your terrific review. Everyone has either moved or knows someone who has, and it really can be exciting and scary and horrible and wonderful all at once! Have you read this book? Have you ever moved? Tell us about either below in the comments!
