Karen McCombie . Scholastic . English
Ally loves Christmas - it's just a shame the Loves don't really have the money to celebrate properly. Never fear, Rowan's creative spirit will find a way ...a feather boa as a wreath? Er, very festive, Ro. Still, the last week of school's going to be fun. There's the Fashion Show to look forward to, for one thing, and Ally's sure she can persuade Alfie to fall madly in love with her, if only she had the chance to get up on that catwalk and glow angelically in a cuter than cute angel costume...Uh-oh, cunning plan foiled again - looks like the only show she'll be the star of is Tor's primary school's nativity play. Hmm, when Ally said angel, Angel Gabriel wasn't quite what she had in mind...
