#1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot's middle grade debut -- now in paperback!When nine-year-old Allie Finkle's parents announce that they are moving her and her brothers from their suburban split-level into an ancient Victorian in town, Allie's sure her life is over. She's not at all happy about having to give up her pretty pink wall-to-wall carpeting for creaky floorboards and creepy secret passageways-not to mention leaving her modern, state-of-the-art suburban school for a rundown, old-fashioned school just two blocks from her new house.

We're moving house! Who's going to help with the packing? What do we need to keep, and what can we give away? Helping with real tasks is a natural progression from pretend play, and is a crucial stage in a child’s development. Achieving a shared goal encourages a sense of responsibility, and develops many skills useful in later life. Simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.

Moving day has never been so much fun!Moving day is never easy, especially when there are little kids around. Mom and Dad can really use big sister Danielle's help in taking care the little kids. And she knows just how to keep them out of the way — pack them up with all of the stuff!When the family arrives at their brand-new home, and the kids are unpacked — well, let's just say that they are ready to take care of Danielle, too!This story was inspired by a family that Robert Munsch once stayed with in Montreal, Quebec — which had five children and had moved to a new house only days before! This funny tale is for all kids, especially those who have dealt with the stress of a big move. And even more especially for those who have dreamt about turning the tables on an older sibling's pranks.

Today was moving day! Lilly Thornberry and her family were moving to a new forest all the way across town. This meant that Lilly would be leaving her school and her friends. She was very sad to have to say good-bye to everyone. But Lilly’s Mom and Dad assured Lilly that she would meet lots of new people and make lots of new friends. It was the last day of school. So it was going to be a very busy day!

Moving Day is the first in Meg Cabot's hilarious series for younger readers, Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls.Allie Finkle is ten years old. She's got two annoying little brothers and a dog called Marvin. She's also got a bunch of rules – most of them, like 'Don't get a pet that poops in your hand', having been discovered through bitter experience. In this funny, fast-moving series, Allie makes (and breaks) rules all over the place as she deals with everything that life can throw at her. In Moving Day Allie absolutely does not want to move house. Moving means leaving behind her pretty pink room and her best friend, Mary Kay. The new house is cold, old, dark and creepy, and there is almost definitely a zombie hand living in the attic! Listening to your parents is a golden rule, but how can Allie convince her family that moving is a very bad idea?

The traumas and trials of moving away are poignantly expressed in new poems from a respected writer. Fletch's new Diamondback mountain bike and his brother's new hockey outfit are unexpected gifts from Dad. When Dad announces, "We're going to move to Ohio," Fletch's heart drops to his stomach. Leaving means selling the house, abandoning his best friends,and living next to Lake Erie. . . . Hey, didn't that lake catch on fire? Ralph Feltcher's poems evoke what's hard about moving away as well as what makes moving day, well, maybe, okay.

This wonderfully interactive story for young readers lets them read along with the story, find fun elements in the scenes, and solve puzzles all while learning about new - and sometimes scary - experiences. Children can later fill in the certificate at the end to show friends and family they completed this experience themselves! Part of Parragon's First Experiences series, young children will love the opportunity to make moving day more fun.
