To help herself survive though the move, she creates a book of rules that every girl should follow. Will her rules for girls help her? Or will her past happy life be gone forever?

Why I Read This Book:

I read this book because I found out that this book was part of a series (Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls) and decided to try it because I've been looking for more series to follow.

Likes:

It was easy for me to relate to Meg Cabot's Allie Finkle because I had to move from a place that I had to live in for a L-O-N-G time and could relate with the main character on that point.
I liked Allie’s comparison between the two elementary schools.

Dislikes:

It seemed a little babyish and young for a 4^th grader to be scared of a disembodied zombie hand in her attic to me. If it were me I would totally think it was a Halloween prop.

Last Minute Thoughts: I liked this book! And I’m defiantly getting the next book in the series to see what happens next and if it gets better.
