Description
Discover Abigail's triumphant story of friendship told through heart-touching letters and lists
Abigail and her two best friends are poised for a life of pom-poms and popularity. But not only does Abigail end up in a different homeroom, she doesn't make the squad. Then everyone's least favorite teacher pairs Abigail up with the school's biggest outcast, Gabby Marco, for a year-long "Friendly Letter Assignment." Abigail can hardly believe her bad luck. As her so-called best friends and entire future of popularity seems to be slipping away, Abigail has to choose between the little bit of fame she has left or letting it go to be a true friend.
Advance Praise
“Written in short lists, letters, notes, and journal entries, the novel’s mixed-media format will appeal to reluctant readers, and Abigail’s voice rings true… The story is honest without being preachy, and many middle school readers will relate to Abigail’s struggle to balance social pressures with her own moral compass.” - School Library Journal
"This kind of dilemma is very pertinent for middle school girls…[Cavanaugh] handles it with tact and sensitivity, taking her heroine on a psychological journey from superficial to thoughtful." - Kirkus
"Cavanaugh creates a layered and interesting character in Gabby, the resilient girl everyone loves to pick on. And Abigail has depths she herself hasn’t considered... Just the right amount of lightness and pathos will hook readers looking for something (a) engaging and (b) just a little bit different." - Booklist
"Told in the hyper-chatty, status-obsessed voice of your secretly sweet best friend, Always, Abigail is always adorable." - Tim Federle, author of Better Nate Than Ever
“Brimming with honesty and heart.” -- Caroline Starr Rose, award-winning author of MAY B.
