Allie Finkel is dismayed to find out that her family is moving to a nearby town. It means leaving her best friend, even if she does cry a lot, and moving into a house potentially haunted by a zombie hand. So she starts plotting and trying to find ways to sabatoge the process. Allie copes with her troubles by creating rules such as "never eat anything red." Her efforts to keep her family from moving, dealing with her complicated social life, and her grudging acceptance of the good things that might come from the move are all heartfelt and delightful. Tara Sands narrates the audiobook in a voice fitting for a nine-year-old heroine. First of a series. Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day by Meg Cabot. Scholastic Audiobooks, 2008.
