Book Description

Publication Date: August 17, 2001 | Series: Allys World

Are other thirteen-year-old girl's lives this stressful? Ally's got a list as long as her arm of things to worry about. First of all, it's enough just to get by, living in a madhouse (well, more of a cross between an animal hospital and something out of Changing Rooms). I mean, Ally loves her family, but every now and then Linn (she's the eldest) is so bossy it's untrue! For example, her idea for a present for their Dad's fortieth birthday. Well, frankly, it's rubbish-but try telling Linn that. Rowan (second eldest) did, and she's got the scars to prove it! Tor isn't much help (well, he is only seven). Neither is Ally's best mate, Billy, but then he is a boy, so what can you expect? And then there's school...just in case she did'nt have enough to worry about there's the forgotten history project that's due and, oh yes, the deeply obnoxious new girl that-oh joy!-Ally's been nominated

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Past, the Present and the Loud, Loud Girl (Allys World) (Paperback)

This is a great, realistic book. It's good for kids, because it tells what life is really about, not some fake, made up fairy tale. It's very lifelike and fun to read. I'm glad Karen McCombie chose to write like this! If you start to read, be sure you have a lot of time on your hands, because you won't be able to put it down until you finish it!

This review is from: Past, the Present and the Loud, Loud Girl (Allys World) (Paperback)

This book describes the world of Ally Love. Its the first book of the series and is a great book for teens. It describes the worries of teenagers like Ally. Its a fun book and if you've got a sense of humour, you will definetley find it mega funny. I brought this book because, as many other kids are like, I love to read. I needed something to keep me occupied and with this book, you'll find it hard to take your nose out of it!
