What is Ally's World: Butterflies, Bullies and Bad, Bad Habits about?

Ally is concerned about her family's financial struggles. Her elder sister, Linn, has secured a Saturday job, but Ally, being too young to work, considers bending the truth to get a job at the local card shop. Meanwhile, her sister Rowan's sudden acquisition of new items raises suspicions, especially since she has no money. To complicate matters, graffiti at school targets Rowan, calling her a 'muppet.' Ally is determined to uncover the truth behind her sister's mysterious behaviour.
