My daughter (8) has read the full series and really enjoyed it. She found Allie to be funny and could relate to her. She liked to tell me all about Allie's rules and how they came into play in the story. She and a few other girls in her class have all been reading the series. She even dressed up as Allie for book character day.

Meg Cabot fans will enjoy this book even though it is written for a younger crowd. It is written in the sam smart-aleck, witty style Meg fans have enjoyed through her previous books. The characters, though young, are real and lovable. I'm 26 and even though this was written about a 9 year old girl, I still enjoyed it. It's a fast, easy read that is entertaining if this what you are looking for.
