There's a new girl in Allie's class. Cheyenne. Cheyenne comes from Canada and Allie has to give up her seat up front in class for Cheyenne so she can feel more at home in her new class.Cheyenne doesn't like the games the girls of her new fourth grade class are playing. Allie and her friends like to pretend that they are Queens, but Cheyenne likes to chase after boys on the playground to kiss them. Cheyenne has a sleepover party but doesn't invite Allie and her friends. Allie decides to make a new rule about this:If a girl from your glass has a sleepover and doesn't invite you, just make your own sleepover party! (and make it a better one!) And the Cheyenne matches the girls of the class with the boys of the classroom. This much to the dislike of Allie and her friends, and when Allie stands up to this, Cheyenne starts to call her Big Baby Allie. Will Cheyenne's behaviour stop and what can Allie do to stop it?
Best friends and Drama queens, the third book in the Allie Finkle's rules for girls series by Meg Cabot, is a perfect book for young girls from the age of 6 to 9. In a fun way this book handles the issue that most girls discover: a girl in your class who acts mean and thinks she is more mature than the rest. Allie has a great (and way more mature way) to stop the big mouth of Cheyenne. Even as an older reader I really enjoyed this book, because I also had girls like Cheyenne in my class.
