Review: Blast from the Past

Allie Finkle's class is going on a field trip. She's never been on a field trip before - she either gets sick or something happens to prevent her from going. She's so excited to ride a bus for the first time - she lives close enough to school to walk.

Then she finds out they're going to Honeypot Prairie - a one room school house. Allie doesn't think it sounds amazing, but she's still excited about the trip until she realizes that their class will be joined by Ms. Myers's fourth grade class.

Allie can't believe her ears - that's the class she would have been in if her parents didn't move. It's also the class with all the girls from the horrible birthday party she just attended. Now Allie's dreading her field trip.

When her two worlds collide, things spiral out of control for Allie. Allie desperately wants to make things right, but she also must make some tough choices. Can Allie be as responsible as she's like to be or will she just go with the crowd?

My Thoughts: This is the 6th book in the Allie Finkle series. I love watching Allie's worlds collide. Allie's fresh, fun, and sweet.

Review: Allie Finkle

Allie has to make a choice: attend a glamorous birthday party for a girl at her old school that she doesn't like, but her mother already accepted the invitation or hang out with her best friends at a twirling competition. Allie wants to do both, but since she has to choose, she needs to make up a lie so she doesn't hurt her best friends' feelings when she chooses the party instead. Only once the day arrives, she sees her best friends piling into the van without her and she thinks she might have made the wrong choice. Then the limo comes to take her and the other party girls into the city. Allie loves the limo and all the candy inside, but her ex best friend is there, sucking up to the birthday girl who's just plain mean. Allie isn't sure she wants to be with girls who are not her friends, but she's still excited about the party. When the birthday girl becomes a mean girl, Allie looks for an excuse to escape. Will her friends forgive her for choosing the wrong party?

My Thoughts: This is the 5th Allie Finkle book -with a fun refreshing and creative main character, Allie shines bright with her quirks and rules. Plus, it's awesome that younger readers can also experience Meg Cabot

The Cover: Cute and expresses Allie's style
