The amazing Abby Hayes

Abby Hayes is a fifth grade girl. She wants to throw a Hurray its summer party to the whole fifth grade. When she gives the invitations, she wonders if they will think that her room is not cool and then Abby Hayes decides to give her room a makeover. But what if its too late to get a makeover. I thoght this book was funny.

A Great Book in the Abby Hayes Series!!!!!

I think this book is great if you are reading the Abby Hayes series. It's a great book if your in the 4-6th grades. I really enjoy the Abby Hayes series a lot and read some of them in a day or less. I give this book a great review.

ONE OF THE BEST!

This was one of my favorite books in the series. Ms.Bunder, Abby's favorite and creative writing teacher, assigns an essay to write about your room. Abby finds that her room is awfully boring, and with the help of Isabel's nail polish, Abby not only paints her lamp purple (which was what she intentionally meant to do), but she paints half of her room purple! But, OH NO! Abby has forgotten to do almost everything for her "Hooray! It's Summer!" party! Fortunataly, her family helps her, and she has a great party, despite the water balloon fight. This was a great book and even Brianna complimented Abby on her room. Get a copy today!

Abby Hayes!!

This book is one of my favorites! Its about when Ms.Bunder tells them that they have to write about their rooms. When it's time to start for Abby she discovers that her room is to boring. Abby also has to get her parents to let her have a party for all of the fifth grade! But Abby paints her lamp purple and thats it right? WRONG!! See what happens in The More, the Merrier!

Purple Hayes!

This latest book in the Abby Hayes series is about Abby throwing a party for her whole grade and repainting her bedroom. I liked this book alot because I also am re-doing my room. I think Anne Mazer is a really good writer. She makes her characters very interesting and uses lots of descriptive words. I am a big fan of the Abby Hayes series and can't wait for the next book to be published!
