What Parents Need to Know
About Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day
Parents need to know that the main character is innocently fascinated with the gory details of a boy who got run over by a car, reflecting on his "splattered brains." She also enjoys horror movies and refers back to certain scenes that may make a young reader's skin crawl. A group of kids are cruel to a cat, swinging it around in a suitcase, but are punished later.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it's like to move. Are there any good things about moving and changing schools? Peer pressure is also an issue in the book. Was there a time you had to stand up to a friend? If you saw someone hurting an animal, what would you do?

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allie's family is moving and she does some bad things, but she gets in trouble for them. I think this is a good book for kids 8 and up. Some brands of toys girls play with are mentioned but this is still very good.
