These books popped into my head today, and it took some googling as I remembered details but no the title! LOVED these in late elementary as they’ve obviously stuck in my mind :)

I loved this book and I can relate to it being that I come from a family where everyone possesses a talent or skill that makes the special but me. This book really resonanted with me.

Abby Hayes was my favorite middle school book character, and sometimes I still find myself reminiscing on how amazing of a character she really is. She is fun, relatable and down right honest. Abby just wants to have her own "thing" that she's great at. Her two older sisters are perfect in her eyes, and so is her younger brother. She feels quirky and that she doesn't fit into her family. Abby has a collection of calendars that she has all hanging in her bedroom and she looks at the quotes every day. Abby's favorite color is purple and she has a a purple notebook she writes her thoughts in. Abby's journey in this book will take you on an adventure to find out what her special talent is.I remember wanting to be Abby and looking up to her. Middle School girls will love this series and I hope to have every book in the series in my classroom library for my future students to explore!

The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes, Volume 1, is the first book the Abby Hayes. In these books, the life of the main character, Abby, is documented, as she uses her notebook and pictures to detail the events that take place in her life growing up. School troubles, boy problems, and family drama mixed with all the fun adventures that come with growing up, and will be a book that many students will enjoy reading as Abby talks about situations that many students will find themselves in as well. These books are most appropriate for about 2nd graders up until middle school and high schoolers, based on reading levels. These books use pictures, purple ink, and many different journal fonts to make it an engaging and visually appealing read for students of all ages.

It was quite my style because I loved how she expresses her feelings so easily with her journal of others.
