Amazing days of Abby Hayes

Abby enjoys writing the advice column for the fifth-grade newspaper until people become upset with some of her answers, but then the opportunity comes along to use her writing skills to help a friend.

Despite a spring vacation spent with her beloved grandmother, Abby is concerned because her enemy cousin, Cleo, will be there as well, leaving Abby to wonder if they will ever get along.

Abby's teacher has to leave school for a few weeks and leaves Abby in charge of the gift box project. When the mean substitute teacher won't let Abby make announcements about it, she and her new friend Hannah must think of a solution.

Abby is now in the sixth grade and she's discovering new friends, new talents, and a major new interest, boys.

To raise money to attend a writing camp Abby decides to have a bake sale at school, which is against the rules.

Abby's family fights almost as much on their vacation in Paris, France, as they do at home, but Abby has an adventure on her own after she gets separated from her sisters while sightseeing, is robbed, and meets a friendly American.

When Abby starts receiving anonymous love notes in her locker just before Valentine's Day, she tries to put together the clues in the pictures that come with the notes and discover the identity of her secret admirer.
