Series: Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls #2
Allie is excited, she is starting a new school and she has the perfect outfit to wear since all of her leggings are packed. She is wearing her favorite skirt with jeans underneath, so no one will see her underpants on the playground. This is very sensible, unlike her brother Kevin who is wearing his pirate costume. The problem is Allie’s first day of school does not go as planned. Her outfit is not clever, it is funny, and not in a good way. Also, Allie writes an essay about how excited she is about her new kitten Mewsette who will be born soon, but the class bully Rosemary reads it to the whole class in a little kid voice. When Rosemary gets in trouble she declares she is going to kill Allie. As usual, Allie gets by relying on the rules she puts around her life. She makes it through okay.
