Allie Finkle Inspiration
Welcome to Trivia Tuesday! One of the really awesome things about working at Scholastic is that I get to meet a lot of authors, and ask them questions about their books. (I know, I'm so lucky!!) The first time I met Meg Cabot, the author of Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls, one of the questions I asked her was:
Who is the character of Allie Finkle based on?
Your job today is to find out the answer! This is a pretty tough question, but the answer is somewhere on this site — from the lips of author Meg Cabot herself. So here's a hint . . .
Good luck!
The inspraration og Alie Finkle Rules for Girls was Meg Cabots own diraes from when she was 9.

Without reading the books or watching the video, somehow I just knew Allie Finkle was based on the author herself. I'm not quite sure whether I've watched the interview with Meg Cabot, but even if I have, it was a long time ago. So, I guess I just remember it, or knew it. The answer, I mean. ;)
