Welcome to my world. It's weird but kind of wonderful...Blood is thicker than water, right? That's what Ally's always been told, and it's true she wouldn't change a thing about her exasperating but adorable family. Then Dad's long-lost brother, Joe comes to stay - bringing along his meddling meanie wife and evil, pet-torturing twins. How could any member of the Love family be so deeply, determinedly un-loveable?

Butterflies, Bullies and Bad, Bad Habits

Ally's feeling inadequate. Her only romantic experience amounts to a burping-in-mouth scenario with Keith Brownlow, but Kyra's only been in Crouch End two seconds and she's got herself a boyfriend! Even Ally's dad seems to be 'dating' - has he forgotten all about her mum? Still, Ally's not sure what's more worrying: not having a boyfriend, or being invited on a double date with Kyra, Ricardo and Ricardo's mystery mate..

Dates, Double Dates and the Big, Big Trouble (Ally's World)

Ally's worried about the family finances. Her big sister Linn has found herself a Saturday job, but Ally's too young to work ...unless she's a wee bit economical with the truth and braves the mad wig lady in the cardshop down the road. And talking of mad, what's going on with Rowan? If everyone's so broke, where does all her sparkly new stuff come from - the Shopping Fairy?

Butterflies, Bullies and Bad, Bad Habits (Ally's World)

Dry your tears - Ally's World might be ending, but Stella Etc is just beginning. A brilliant new series from top combo Karen McC and Spike Gerrell, "Stella Etc" is a must for Ally's World fans who need their fix of Karen's humour and warmth, her spot-on depiction of pre-teen girls' lives and fresh, original voice but with a whole new cast of characters to get to know and love. Welcome to Ally's-World-on-Sea! Stella has just moved from London to a paint-peeling, past-its-sell-by-date, seaside resort town, which feels just around the corner from the back of beyond after Kentish Town. She comes to love it and its eccentricities and the characters she meet there - one new friend is added to the group in each book. This first book deals with the move from town to seaside and the leaving behind of best friend, Frankie. Peaches is the new character, a big, ugly ginger cat, who turns out to be possibly the most important character of all! Karen is thinking of "Stella Etc" as a 6-book series. A friend in need? Stella knows life in Portbay will be easier once she makes some friends. Trouble is, her new mate TJ only seems to want to be with her when there's no one else around! But why's he so keen to hag out with a bunch of scary, older lads who spend most of their time laughing at him?

Sweet-talking TJ (Stella Etc.)

There are days when Ally just doesn't "get" the male species. Take Billy, her so-called best mate, who's being even more annoying than usual - so how come she's having slushy love-type feelings for him? And then, there's little brother Tor, and his habit of asking embarrassing questions ("Ally, where do baby mice come from?"). But right now, Ally's got more pressing concerns - like how to get rid of her love handles.

Boys, Brothers and Jelly-belly Dancing (Ally's World)

Welcome to my World. It's weird but kind of wonderful...Ally knows Linn finds her chaotic family a bit ...exasperating. Super efficient Linn with her super tidy room and super perfect hair sometime doesn't seem like a Love Child at all. But when Linn falls for Q, lead singer in Chazza's band, all her sensible, self-controlled ways go to pieces. Everyone else can see Q's a creep - but does Ally have the courage to burst Linn's heart-shaped bubble?

Sisters, Super-creeps and Slushy, Gushy Love Songs (Ally's World)

Welcome to my world. It's weird but kind of wonderful. For once, Ally's looking forward to school - well, the last week of it anyway. There's a fun run and - joy - the legendary end-of-term party. But that's before Kyra starts smuggling illegal pets into school, and then expects Ally to deal with the fall-out. But Ally's got her own problems to deal with, not least a game of Spin the Bottle that goes weirdly, worrisomely wrong...

Parties, Predicaments and Undercover Pets (Ally's World)

Well, 'tis the season to be jolly...Shame Rowan's come over a bit too festive and mistaken Tor for a Christmas tree, cue another fight with Linn-er, isn't it the season of goodwill, too? Actually there's a dangerous shortage of that this Crimbo-what with bickering sisters and Chloe nicking my Really Good Idea (where's that in the How To Be A Good Friend Handbook?). Still, at least I might get a kiss under the mistletoe this year...(Minus the burping,please. Blee!)
