Not the toileting in the woods...

Omigod i LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! the Ally's World series!! PLEASE WRITE MORE BOOKS!!!!!!! I've read every book in the series at least twice and I know you might not want to (hopefully because you can't think of any more plots; it would be better than an outright NO!!!) because I feel I can relate to the characters and the storylines and the mortification that Ally feels every time she tries to talk to Alfie!!! A few of my favourites are Angels, Arguments and A Furry Merry Christmas, Rainbows, Rowan and True True Romance (?), Crushes, Cliques and the Cool School Trip (man, I wish what happened to Sandie would happen to me!!! No, not the toileting in the woods!!!), and Sisters, Super-Creeps and Slushy, Gushy Love Songs. Please consider my earlier request as I know many will be waiting hopefully for another marvel of an Ally's World installment to hit the shelves!! I know I am!!!

Exciting excitement!

I can't WAIT until your new series comes out (my library must be a bit annoyed with me, as I keep getting/reserving your books!). I AM SO EXCITED! i need to let it all out. Honestly, I'm trembling – I logged in and saw your new blog and practically died! I've asked for the whole Alys World series for Christmas, so I can read them thousands of times! And will ask 4 the new book for 'nothing special' day (I made it up, 4th March!). ONLY 2 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL! luv ya all out there...

Herrrllo!!!!

Uh... Hi!! I lurrve your books so so much!! They are awesome, dude! I have read all of your books but my favourite ones are deffo the 'Ally's World' series, I LOVE THEM!! I would love to have Rowan as my twin 'cause well, she is like sooo like me. I am such an airhead lol =p. Also, Alfie wears cool shoes, Converse I mean. I have black ones with multi-coloured bits on lol. I also love Colin and all the other cats and animals too. I love animals and nature and stuff. I have a cat called Lucky and her belly is fat and she often sits around and moans at me but I love her lots really. Now I must go as she's mioawing and is going to savagely headbutt me if I don't feed her. ILY! X.

Questions, Questions and more Questions

Now where to start, as I don't want to bore you to death. Well ,firstly, (I know you must hear this a lot) but your books are sooo inspiring. I actually want to become a writer now!! Secondly, when I was younger I once sent you an email requesting if you could my name in your next book. Whether it's a HUGE coincidence that in 'Stella Etc ' Stella's friend is Frankie (Francesca) I don't really mind. I still get all choked up when I read about the character...

Grown-up life versus Ally's World!

I'm a very big fan of your Ally's World series (it's the only series of your books I've read so far). I first discovered them when I was about 13 or 14 and bought the first 7 but then couldn't find anymore. Poo. Anyway, I'm now 19 and have recently been re-reading them as a bit of fun. They still appeal to me so much, even at the age I am now! You're writing is such a joy to read and I always find myself laughing out loud. They really cheer me up when all this grown-up life stuff stresses me out, haha. It's so nice to get lost in Ally's World and family. Rowan is one of my favourite characters -- I used to want to be her! (Actually, a part of me still does). So, thanks again for creating such brilliant work and even though I'm nearly 20, I do actually plan on reading many more of your books. :)

I love Ally

hi 2 all ally lovers! i really really love allys world books - i think they're so funny and very addictive! I have read each book over 10 times each and i still love them. I think if i had a wish it would be that ally was my bff and i would hang out with her and her demented family. I think me and ally are very alike:
1. i have 9 pets
2. i have
3 brothers and sisters
3. i love cats
4. i love sweets and nachos
