It’s probably not a good idea for a Year 12 aspiring writer and brand spanking new English Prefect at her geekazoid school to admit that she is in love with the ‘Ally’s World’ series… especially when the Head of English threatened to slit her wrists when a girl walked into her Literature lesson holding a copy of ‘The Princess Diaries: Seventh Heaven’, but what can I say? I love Ally. I am generally obsessed with children’s literature, so when my ten-year-old sister came home with ‘The Past, The Present, and The Loud Loud Girl’, naturally I stole it. And I became hooked. I have never come across a more honest and caring family - especially when Tor tells Rowan off in ‘Butterflies, Bullies, and Bad Bad Habits’! It is so important to promote reading to the younger generation, and your books are one more thing that will hopefully change minds about the reading being ‘uncool’. A truly wonderful series…
From London’s resident Kiddie Lit prof! :o)
P.S. The ending of ‘Hassles, Heart-pings!, and Sad Happy Endings’ = SQUEEE! About time, is all I can say...

Hiya, I'm also an A level english student, and just wanted to let you know that OF COURSE there is no shame in liking Ally's World! I've been reading them for about 4 or 5 years, as each book was published :) So yeah, go Ally's world!

Well,your teacher should meet me.I am 9 and read the princess diaries, and all of the Karen McCombie series!
