Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-16 00:00:00 Lisabeth Fauble I just finished reading the book The New Girl. I really loved the book. One reason I really liked this book was because, all the good rules Allie wrote about her life so far. It is also good rules/ advice for lots of girls that has the same problem in life now. She also writes rules to remember times and problems in life, she writes rules about how to be polite around adults, or others. One good is (rule#11) a lady never raises her fist to another. Young girls always think violence is the key to all problems. on pg. Since Allie's first day of school at Pine Heights Elementary, Rosemary wanted to beat her up and never liked her. Then Allie found out why she was rude to all the girls, then the janitor told her it's because none of the girls ever ask her to play with them or she has to baby sit the boys in the back of the room. On pg. 212 Rosemary told Allie how felt and it was all true. You would like this book if you has the same problems as Allie. I say this because you never know when your going to need Allie's advice when you have problems or when you need rules, about how to be girl. You also grow to worry about if Rosemary is going to beat up Allie and reject her as being her friend. She knows Rosemary had a hard life because she grew up with 6 brothers and sit with the boys in the back of the classroom. One BIG challenge about this book is imaging the way they speak, because they are from Texas. It tells that the person who wrote this spent time in Texas too. They use the same words that they use in the North, but all you got to do is imagine the Texas accient. I think Rosemary is a very interesting character. I think that because she is the one who has to watch the boys in the back of the classroom. She also lives with 6 boys and her fathers a football coach, and that's why everyone expects her to act tough like a boy. But, the only reason she acts like that,is because no girl ever ask her to play with them, and she doesn't get attention from the girls in class, by sitting in the back with the boys all the time.At recess she played kickball with the boys. But pride shown in her when Allie asked her "to play with her".
