This book is about a girl named Allie Finkle. She is in a miserable fourth grade classroom with her enemy Scott Stamphley, her almost-best friend Mary-Kay, who cries about EVERYTHING, and her sort-of friend Brittany Hauser, the bat thrower. When Allie's parents announce that they're moving, Allie starts to wish she was nicer to Mary- Kay. Later, Allie feels that she should keep a book of rules so she remembers. The first rule, NEVER EAT ANYTHING RED!!! She keeps this book everywhere just in case there's another rule she finds.
