About This Book
In the third book of the popular Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls series, nine-year-old Allie faces a common childhood challenge: a new student disrupting her established friendships. Allie initially hopes the new girl, Cheyenne, will divert attention from her, but instead, Cheyenne becomes a strong influence on Allie's closest friend. This book explores themes of jealousy, self-confidence, and the complexities of social dynamics in elementary school. It's a relatable story for children navigating shifting friendships and learning to stand up for themselves, all through Allie's charming 'rules' framework.
Pine Heights Elementary School has a new student, and nobody is happier than Allie Finkle. In her mind, the arrival of Cheyenne from Canada means that she will no longer be the fourth-grade class dolt. That bright prospect fades, however, when Cheyenne suddenly becomes the dismissive standard setter for Allie's closest friend. What is a girl to do? A solid series about real-world problems.
