Blast from the Past

Blast From the Past is the final book in Meg Cabot's hilarious series for younger readers, Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls. Allie is looking forward to her class field trip - even if it's only to a historic one-room schoolhouse. Riding on a bus is something Allie usually misses out on, living so close to school, and some of her friends are dressing-up in old-timey costumes. But then Mrs. Hunter announces that every student in Room 209 has been assigned a 'buddy' for the day - from Allie's old fourth grade class at Pine Heights Elementary - and her buddy just happens to be her ex-best friend Mary Kay, who betrayed Allie right before she moved! And, as if things aren't bad enough, with renovations going on at Allie's house - there's a hole in the wall that her kitten, Mewsie, keeps disappearing into. What if Mewsie gets trapped inside the wall forever? With her past catching up with her, it looks like this is one trip Allie's going to need to write some major rules for. Allie Finkle is ten years old. She's got two annoying little brothers, three best friends, a dog called Marvin and a kitten called Mewsie, and is attending her first big birthday bash! Looks like she'll need some new rules to help her out ... In this funny, fast-moving series, Allie makes (and breaks) rules all over the place as she deals with everything that life can throw at her
