Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls, Book 1: Moving Day
Meet Allie Finkle: age 9, big sister and avid geode collector. When Allie’s parents move the family from a suburban split-level house to a creaky, creepy, possibly haunted Victorian house in the city, Allie is horrified! But nothing Allie does, from hiding the “For Sale” sign to sabotaging a showing of the house, makes any difference—the Finkles are still moving. Will Allie survive sleeping in her haunted bedroom? What will happen to her geode collection? And will she ever find a real best friend?
