characters Sealed with a Kiss (The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes, #20)
I was younger than twelve when I last read a book from The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes series, so I had forgotten most of the main characters, even. Strangely, I also remembered the book as less funny.
With this final book, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, devouring the pages of elementary writing. I only wish there were more of this series and readers could follow the protagonist, Abby Hayes, through the rest of middle school, high school, and college, at the very least, rather than just up to part of sixth grade here.
My deepest and eternal thanks to my mother for having introduced young me to this set of works discerningly. 9780439829304
I loved this series.
I loved this series.
I loved this series!!!!
(Note: This review is basically about the entire Abby Hayes series--not just volume 20. I'm just putting this review in volume 20 because volume 20 is my favorite book in the series.)
When I was in the 5th grade, The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes was like . . . my FAVORITEST SERIES IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. It was original, it was adorable, it was cute, it was entertaining . . . it was EVERYTHING THAT A NOVEL SHOULD CONTAIN!!
I can't find another series like The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes!!! They're fairly short--with about 17-20 chapters in each book. They're chapter books so they're not meant for fellow readers with the habit of reading books that are super melodramatic and romantic.
First of all, my first Abby Hayes book was volume 12. Even though I didn't read from the beginning, I LOVED the book and I wanted to find more, but I only found volumes 1, 2, and 8.
So I wondered . . . WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE BOOKS?!
And within the next week, ALL OF THE VOLUMES (well--volume 18 hadn't been released at this time, so it was from volume 1-17 plus the 2 special volumes)were sitting on the shelf and I CHECKED ALL OF THEM OUT.
And I read all of them in ONE NIGHT. That's how much I loved Abby Hayes. I LOVED IT.
Why, why, why, why, why on earth can't novels be like this? I mean Abby Hayes isn't as detailed in the writing, but it's better than a lot of detailed books!! I love originality, as well as anything that's capable of making me smile!!!!!!
Anyway, the reason why The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes recieved a 4-star and not a five star is because . . . the writing isn't the best detailed writing out there. I mean it's super adorable and I know it's meant for younger kids, but the words like said were overused when they could be replaced with many other words, like mumbled and screeched and bawled and squawked.
But otherwise, I LOVED THE VOICE IN THIS SERIES. It was amazing.
Best. Chapter book series. Ever. I enjoyed Junie B. Jones and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing just as much as I enjoyed The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes. These three series will always be my favorite chapter book series.
Hey, just because I'm in high school can't mean that I can't cling onto my childhood favorites, right?
PLUS I totally recommend for my fellow review readers to read the quotes in Abby's calendars.
AAAAAAANYWAY, overall, I totally recommend this book for those of you in search for one of the funniest, cutest, most original chapter book series ever. So go read them! I read 17 volumes in one night!! 9780439829304 A nice Valentine's day book 9780439829304 It was mysterious. I liked the twist at the end. 9780439829304 It was a good book!
