A mixture of fun, friends,
annoying and bossy sisters, eccentric little brothers
and a cat with three legs. Add to that a best friend
who's a boy who's just discovered girls, a history project
to finish and a new girl at school, and you get a glimpse
into what makes Ally's World go round. If that's not
enough, there's something weird about what's happened
to her Mum. She's not around... but where is she really...
and her Dad's starting to act a bit strange...
