Ally's World by Karen McCombie
 
by Karen McCombie  
   

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...
