COMMUNITY REVIEWS

new friends submitted by shalinigurl on July 10, 2011, 4:40pm I like how this book could easily happen in real life.

A blast from the past submitted by cullerth on July 9, 2018, 6:39pm These were my favorite series of books as a kid! I still have them all and read them from time to time for a fun treat. I remember eagerly waiting for each title to come out and being upset when I realized that after about 2009 there weren't going to be any new Abby Hayes titles. It's a shame the library only seems to have about 3 of them - I'm pretty sure there are 20 or so in the whole series!

What I loved about Abby Hayes was her subtle greatness. She was a withdrawn redhead who was always writing in her journal with her purple pen. You get to see inside her head as the narrative switches between third person and Abby's own journal entries. Abby was part of a family of very successful people and never felt like she could keep up. But in the end she always proved herself wrong, accomplishing unique feats that were all her own. She's a great model of self-discipline, hard work, and learning to believe in yourself for youth to look to.
