Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: The New Girl Synopsis
Everything is new for Allie Finkle. A new house, a new school, new
friends - when all she wanted was a new kitten. Now Allie's finding
that it's hard being the New Girl, especially when the class bully
hates you from the first day! What Allie needs are some new rules to
help her out! Like ...when you are starting your first day; ever at a
brand new school, you have to wear something good; so people will think
you're nice; if you say it enough times in your head it will come true
(sometimes); and a lady never raises her fist to another.
