More About This Book

Overview

Allie Finkle is back - with a whole new set of rules!

Mrs. Hunter's fourth grade class is putting on a play! But Allie's theatrical hopes are crushed when she doesn't get cast as the princess -- the part that she wanted! Instead, Allie is cast as the evil queen. But as opening night approaches, Allie learns it's not the size of the part, it's the size of the heart that really matters.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
In the fourth book of this popular series, Allie Finkel dreams of being a princess in the school play. She rehearses, memorizes lines, and does a wonderful job at the audition. Unfortunately, Cheyenne, the snobbiest girl in fourth grade, is determined to be the princess. When Sophie wins the role of the princess, Cheyenne is horrified and decides not to put any effort into the play. Meanwhile, Allie struggles to be the evil fairy queen. She quickly discovers that playing a villain is incredibly fun and more interesting than wearing glass slippers. At the dress rehearsal, Allie plays her part perfectly, drawing laughs from the kindergarten class that watches. To Allie's shock, Sophie blames Allie for stealing the show. Could things get any worse for Allie? Allie worries that all her friends will hate her, but there is a larger problem on the horizon when it looks like Sophie will have to drop out of the show. Suddenly the entire play is about to fold, and Allie realizes she has to take action. Can Allie save the show, or will the play be cancelled? In this humorous story, Allie Finkel emerges as a compelling and likable heroine; it is another hit for Meg Cabot. Reviewer: Suzanna E. Henshon, Ph.D.
School Library Journal
Gr 3–5—Allie Finkle is back again and this time her challenge is winning the lead in her elementary school class play, Princess Penelope in the Realm of Recycling. Unfortunately, several other girls in the class want to play the lead, including Allie's best friend Sophie (who really does look like a princess) and a supremely self-centered girl who is sure she will get the role. Allie secretly practices to audition for Princess Penelope and is very disappointed when she gets the role of the Evil Queen, but at least Sophie will be the princess. While dealing with the complexities of friendship and putting on a play, Allie is basking in the fact that her mother is practically a celebrity because she is the new movie reviewer for a popular local cable show. Allie eventually decides to make the most of her role and realizes that she can win over an audience with comedy. Tara Sands narrates Meg Cabot's novel (Scholastic, 2009), giving the characters distinct voices that reflect their personalities. Fans of the series will love this episode.—Teresa Wittmann, Westgate Elementary School, Edmonds, WA

Meet the Author

Meg Cabot
Meg Cabot
Keeping up with Meg Cabot is tricky: the Princess Diaries author turns out light entertaining novels for teens and adults at a furious pace. Which is good news for her fans, who snap them up as fast as she can write them!

Biography

Meg Cabot knows that one of the best cures for feeling gawky and conspicuous is reading about someone who sticks out even more than you do. Her books for young adults invariably feature girls who have extraordinary powers that carry extraordinary burdens. Cabot's Princess Diaries series offers up the secret thoughts of Mia Thermopolis, who discovers at age 14 that she is actually the princess of a small European country. This revelation adds significantly to her extant concerns about crushes, friendships, school, and other matters falling under adolescent scrutiny.

Cabot, a native of Indiana weaned on Judy Blume and Barbara Cartland, was already a successful romance novelist (as Patricia Cabot) before she began writing for young adults; her alter-alter ego, Jenny Carroll, began a new series shortly after The Princess Diaries debuted. The Carroll books are divided between the Mediator series, starring a girl who can communicate with restless ghosts; and the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU books, in which a girl struck by lightning acquires the ability to locate missing people.

Cabot writes her books in a conspiratorial, first-person style that resonates with her readers. She has obviously kept a grip on the vernacular and the key issues of adolescence; but what makes her books so irresistible is the mixing of the mundane with the fantastic. After all, who wouldn't like to wake up and be a princess all of a sudden, or a seer? Cabot takes such offhand notions and roots them firmly in the details of average, middle-class American life. She has also tiptoed into mystery and paranormal suspense with other YA novels and series installments.

Cabot continues to write adult novels under various permutations of her given name (Meggin Patricia Cabot): from 19th-century historical romances to contemporary chick lit. And, as with her books for teens, these romances have earned praise for their lighthearted humor and well drawn characters.

Good To Know

Some interesting outtakes from our interview with Cabot:

"I am left handed."

"I hate tomatoes of any kind."

"I really wanted to be veterinarian, but I got a 410 on my math SATs."

"Writing used to be my hobby, but now that it's my job, I have no hobby -- except watching TV and laying around the pool reading US Weekly. I have tried many hobbies, such as knitting, Pilates, ballet, yoga, and guitar, but none of them have taken. So I guess I'm stuck with no hobby.

    BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!

    I have commented on Meg Cabot's first Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls book. It was one of the best. But I have read all of these books. This one I got for Christmas this year, and by far I think it is the best! It has so many good characters! I hope you find my comment helpful!

    more from this reviewer

    Reviewed by Michaela Pallante aka "Mickey" for TeensReadToo.com

    Allie Finkle's fourth grade class is putting on a play and Allie really, really wants the part of the main character, Princess Penelope. The only problem is that so does almost every other girl in her class, including one of her best friends, Sophie, and snobby Cheyenne.

    Allie's not worried, though. With help from her ex-theater major Uncle Jay and her mom's new "Celebrity" job as a movie critic on a local cable show, she's sure to get the part.

    But if she does get the part, will Sophie still be her best friend? How will she ever practice her lines with her two little brothers playing tackle football in the hallway all the time? Most importantly, can Allie figure all this out without breaking any of her rules?

    STAGE FRIGHT, like all Meg Cabot's books, was very funny and a lot of fun. Young girls will relate to Allie's friendship (and enemy) troubles and excitement. Allie and everyone in her world are sweet, and Allie always finds a way to make any situation fun.
