They focus around the Love family and are written from the view of 13 year old Ally. It tells of the family dramas and friendship crisis she has as she grows up in London, England. It is set out as a story for her traveling mother about what her children have been up to in case she ever returns.
Alexandria Love (aged 13) is the pivotal character in the Ally's World series as it is written in her perspective through a journal she is keeping for her Mother (who is believed to be traveling the world for four years). She is named after Alexandria Palace, which can be seen from her attic bedroom window. In the first book she is said to have three major problems, a gift for her father, a new girl by the name of Kyra Davies that she dislikes and a school History project she is yet to have completed. We find that the History project comes together with great help from the slightly obnoxious, Kyra Davies and they become good friends. Her sister, Rowan, uses the memory box that she was keeping for the sake of their mother, to create a collage type picture for their father as a gift for his 40th birthday. From the very start we also greatly acknowledge that she fancies Alfie, a friend of her sister Linn. At the end of the series, she ends up going out with her best friend Billy after he was dumped by Sandie.
Linnhe, or Linn, as she prefers to be called, is seventeen when we first meet her and is described as "perfect" and a "power-mad control freak". She has wavy blonde hair which she blow dries straight. Linn is a 'neat-freak', with a scrupulously tidy bedroom. According to Ally, she would gladly swap their comfortably cluttered house for a new, tidy one in a "micro-second". Her mother and sister are both artsy whereas Linn takes after her grandma and likes everything to be tidy, despite being the only Love child to bear a physical resemblance to their mother. Linn and Rowan constantly fight over little things - especially when it comes to Rowan making dinner. However, they do have moments when they get along very well, such as when Rowan is bullied in the third book. Linn got her name because the day her mother found out she was pregnant with her, she was camping at Loch Linnhe in Scotland. When she finds out Rowan is dating Alfie she goes through a phase of not speaking to Rowan and giving Alfie a bit of the cold shoulder. She eventually come to terms with it but it does not mean she is totally happy about it. She was scared that Alfie would want to see Rowan more than her and it felt like she was losing her best friend. She is often called 'The Grouch-Queen' by Ally and Rowan as she often snaps at them but has soft spots for Ivy and Tor just like most of the family.
Rowan is fifteen when we first meet her and is described as 'artsy' and ditzy. She has her own sense of style and is not really scared of how people think of her. But in one of the books the bullying gets to her, making her steal clothes and jewellery and get drunk to cheer herself up, which she fully regrets after she comes to her senses. She has a soft spot for her little brother Tor and her little sister, Ivy and later goes out with Alfie, much to the initial disgust of Linn, who is Alfie's best friend.
Rowan got her name after the famous Rowan tree. Her bedroom is like a "magical fairy grotto" decorated with fairy lights and in one of the later books makes a shrine to Johnny Depp with fairy lights, candles, plastic fruit and figurines. She leaves the candles burning by mistake and it starts a fire blackening her entire room.
Rowan has a life-size tattoo of a ladybird on one arm, circa Tattoos, Telltales and Terrible, Terrible Twins.
Rowan also has her own book (or diary) called 'The Rasberry Rules'. It is set back two years ago when she was 13. It is about fitting in, standing out, and a bit of fairy dust.
Tor is seven when we first meet him and is described by Ally as 'so quiet we sometimes do not know if he's even there', and this quietness leads to Billy calling him 'Spook Kid'. He loves animals to the core, and will do anything to protect his pets. On one occasion, Tor kicks his new neighbors for prodding Winslet, one of his dogs. He is incredibly shy and does not speak much, but he is incredibly excited when a vet moves in the house next door. He climbs over the fence to meet his new neighbor, much to the annoyance of his Dad. Tor got his name from Glastonbury Tor, where his parents visited whilst his mum was pregnant. He is very fond of Ivy and they share a room with bunk beds which they like very much. Tor also has lots of pets himself such as a stick insect called Brian, much to Ally's amusmant. He is a very smart child. Ivy was introduced in Daisy, Dad and the Huge, Small, Surprise (Book 10). We find out about Ivy when Ally's Mum comes back home. She says that while she was suffering from postnatal depression, she went away and gave birth to Ivy. Ivy is 3 and 1/2 years old and is a big animal lover (Like Tor.)She has a pet dog called Ben in Cornwall where she has been living for the past 3 and a 1/2 years with her mum. In (Book 11) she reveals to everyone that Rowan likes Alfie whom Ally had a big crush on. Ally and several others describe her as being like Tor, only smaller and with a brown bob and a love for anything pink. Ivy was named after St.Ives. She often sings one word songs in one tune which often gets on peoples nerves but all the same is quite cute. When she is not with Ben she misses him a lot and is very unhappy without him. Martin is Ally, Linn, Rowan, Tor and Ivy's father. He runs a local bike shop, which does not make much profit. This bike shop is also where Martin met Ally's mother for the first time. Martin is loved by all his children, but often gets sad about Ally's mother being away (until Book 10). However Ally and her siblings think he is a good, kind dad and can usually tell him their troubles easily. All the Love children have an agreement not to get into trouble at school or misbehave, knowing that their dad has a lot to cope with, with his wife being missing. To take his mind off her and to find something to do, Martin takes up line dancing, which he thinks is fun, but embarrasses Ally and her siblings. Later, when Ally's mum comes back, she too takes up line dancing. Martin never has a girlfriend in the absence of Ally's mother, but at one stage gets a bit too friendly for Ally's liking with Tor's summer craft program teacher, Daisy Wood.
