I was recently sent an adorable Middle Grades (“Tween”) book to review, called “The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams“.
It was such a sweet, good read. Well written, with fun and conversational dialogue that makes for a pleasant and enjoyable read. Your child will really like it!
The book ranges on such familiar topics as family, siblings, school, fitting in, friends, and all sorts of situations that we can all relate to- even those of us who have never experienced preforming magic!
“The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams” is a great book for kids who love to read, but is “light” enough for those who struggle with reading to enjoy as well- and may encourage them to give reading another try. I am a firm believer in giving kids a wide range of books to choose from- those that love to read will find so many books appealing. Those that don’t, may need to try a few to find out why reading is wonderful Abbie Adams may just be able to cast her spell on your child- I know she enchanted me!

Here is a bit about the book–
“Abbie Adams is a regular eleven-year old girl with normal problems like a really strict-fifth grade teacher. (Meet Miss Linegar. Rhymes with vinegar.) She’s chronically behind in homework, forced to keep a big secret from her very best friend and hoping like heck she can remember all her lines in the drama club play. But Abbie also happens to be a witch and in addition to everything else, she has to cope with stuff like her little brother morphing into a werewolf and trying to eat his first-grade teacher…not to mention figuring out what exactly is up with her very, very peculiar cat.”

My opinion? Fun read, great book. If you have a tween, or an early reader and are working on chapter books with them, this is a good one to have. This is author Rhonda Hayter’s first book, but I am hoping we will hear more from her, and maybe even more from Abbie! Ms. Hayter did a great job with the dialogue, the storyline, and in general creating a light and fun story that kids will love to read and re-read. We have all been Abbie at some point, kids all go though these moments. Your child will appreciate this creative viewpoint of everyday life.
