Gift Boxes!

This book was so great, I couldn't put it down. I finished it all in one day! It's about a teacher who leaves Abby in charge of a gift box project. But they have a mean substitute who won't let Abby make the announcement about bringing gifts in for the gift boxes. Abby's friend named Hannah helps her out. Read the story. You'll love it.

This is a great Abby Hayes book!

Anne Mazer NEVER dissapoints me.This book is amazing,and I love it!

What will the class do about her? Find out in this exciting book!

Anson Y.'s book review. HK.< Box,box and more box. >

This is a good book. And I'll hate to have a substitute like Ms. Lee, I also agree on a word in Abby's journal most " Kids are not your enemies." I love the part where Hannah's baby sister water the boxes, I try to imagine what it was like, and the whole picture flew into my mind. Didn't I laugh till tears came out. Want to know what I'm writing about? READ THE BOOK!

a cute little book

In this book, Ms. Kantor and Ms. Bunder do a class project. They have to decorate shoeboxes, fill them with toys and send them to the poor for Christmas. But then Ms. Kantor's mother gets sick and takes a leave of absence. Abby's class now has the worst subsitute on earth. Abby tries to figure out two things: 1. How are they going to the Christmas boxes without Ms. Kantor? 2.How is Abby's class going to get rid of their subsitute? A great read.

The BEST Book!

This Abby Hayes book is a must read. You really should read it, especially if you love writing. When Ms. Kantor (Abby's teacher) announces that she's leaving for a few weeks to take care of her mother, Abby Hayes volunteers to take charge on the project the class is doing.(they were going to put gifts inside boxes and wrap them and give them to the less fortunate kids.)But a really, really, really, really, really, really mean subsitute teacher wouldn't let them do the project in class. Plus, she was nasty, wouldn't listen to any of the kids, and was a yellerhead. Will Abby and her classmates get the project done, and get the subsitute out of the class for good?
