Customer Reviews

I have the "Purple" flu!

It's SO great. I recommend it. I read it, and now, I'm up to book #7. These books have never let me down! Abbie is so funny, and kids like me are sure to love her. She has older twin sisters, and 1 younger brother. She loves the color purple, causing her english teacher to call her Abbie "Purple" Hayes. She has tons of calenders, and at the beginning of each chapter, she has a quote. Each book has her doing something else that is so funny. She's always going, going, going!

THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL!

I have read 10 books about Abby Hayes and they have all had problems, like a dull room or a dull newspaper job. But this book was the book that started it all. In the first book, we meet Abby, a fifth grader who has a superstar family. Abby has SuperSibs who can do anything from playing sports to debating to programming computers. Abby just wants to fit in! That's all she wants (except for her wish of pierced ears)! So Abby's friend, Jessica, a sporty girl who loves space and soccer, helps Abby train for the soccer team. Abby finally acheives her goal, until someting very embarrassing happens in one of the game. But it turns out all right when she sees what is in the newspaper the next day. This is a great book, so you should read this one and all of the other one to see how Abby grows up and experiences something that everyone can relate to.

Go Abby! Go Abby!

This book is about 10 year old Abby Hayes and her family. The first of the series, this book leaves you wanting more. I reccomend this book to all girls, probably ages 7 and up. It was great!

An awesome book!

I think The Amazing Days Of Abby Hayes, Every Cloud has a Silver Lining, is an awesome book! It tells the book from both Abby's view(the main character) and from a narrator! You can relate to a lot of things that goes on in the book, and also how Abby feels. It makes you want to keep reading and reading, edition after edition! The only bad thing about the books is that you can finish really fast, but after your done with one book, you can go to the next book! It's a book I would definetely reccomend to girls everywhere!

An excellent book for young girls

Have you ever felt singled out in your family and nobody understands? Well if you do you should read this book. It is a book about a girl around your age, who always thinks she is totally different from the rest of her family. Her name is Abby Hayes. Abby has a dream to be a great soccer player. She also wishes she weren't so different. Abby goes through some struggles in her way to becoming a soccer star. Will she succeed at her dream? Read the book to find out. I think that Anne Mazer did an excellent job on this book. I didn't really like the ending, but all in all this was a 5 star book.
