Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls
Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls is a series of children's books by Meg Cabot about a 9-year-old fourth grader named Allie Finkle. Allie keeps a book of personal rules to live by in order to get through the tough situations life brings, as well as just personal pet peeves of hers ("Never eat anything red.").
