Butterflies, Bullies and Bad Bad Habits!

I love all your books, naturally! But this one stood out as something really special! You took a serious subject and managed to portray it perfectly ,giving the cause and solution for that type of bullying! As well as all that, you managed to jam-pack it with the usual 'Ally's World' madness!

My Funny Valentine, Bliss..., Wonderland

I actually like that mini series MORE than the 'Ally's World' etc. Maybe it's because they really made me think about how the characters (Shaunna, Moly and Jude) would react and how they were controlling things (all of Karen's books do, but...).
I really like the way they did things and how it was rounded up and the cool relationships between the three friends.

Sweet-Talking TJ

I just want to say how amazing your book 'Sweet-Talking TJ' is. I'm desperate for 'Meet The Real World, Rachel' but it hasn't come to my local library yet. I've bought Stella Etc 1&2 now. I think you thought it through so well, and Electra is such a funny character! I felt a bit sorry for TJ when Stella went past and said, "Hi Titus" but it served him right, I suppose. Oh, I have so much to say about 'Sweet-talking TJ' 'cause it was so much fun reading, and it's a fantastic book for older readers!

A Guided Tour Of Ally's World

I love 'Allys World' so i was in Waterstones and was like "Oo, i'll buy that!*" (* that meaning 'A Guided Tour Of Ally's World'). it's v. v. groovy and i like the cover, ie i like Spike's art work. u write the coolest books and would be super awsome if you wrote more Ally books for me to buy and very kindly give you money. But if u do, please keep ally the same age! I'm sorta like everyone in the 'ally's world' series! I am cute and adorable like Ivy (well, that may be a little white sorta true lie...) i luv* animals, just like tor does. (*repeat luv- luv! ha. okay , not funny...) I am creative and sometimes ditzy like Rowan, and im neat (but not as neat!) as Linnhe (ha! how do you like me now linn- he!). Her mum (who has the same name as me!!) is a lot like Rowan, so i'll just class her as Rowan. and i cannot imagine being a 40-year-old man who works in a bike shop! And of course - i am most like Ally, and i look like her! But not with the dodge fringe.

Journals (and gubbins)

Hi to everyone, especially Karen:P. My random wittering might drive you mad soon, but there you go! Just wanted to say that:
a) Ally's World is the greatest ever! Urgent Message of Wowness is great too!
b) 4 more books and I've got all the Ally's World (yay!)
c) I'm going to try and write my own books based on my life and mates! Thanks for inspiring me! d) Gubbins is the best word in the English language – thanks for putting it in the 'Guided Tour'. Ha! My mates are going insane at the regular use of that word... I
've been babbling, must go babble to someone else :D

Ally's World books are the best!!

I've just finished reading 'the past, the present and the loud loud girl' and i didn't want it to end. it was funny, exciting and my type of book. i've now bought all the 'ally's world' collection (1-10) and can't wait to start number 2 ('dates, double dates and big big trouble').

I'm reading them all again!!

I read your 'Ally's World' books about a year ago and i enjoyed every single one of them. They are all so funny and as good as the 'Harry Potter' books. I have just started to read the series all over again and thoroughly look forward to reading your new series of books!!
