Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining is a book about a girl named Abby and about what her life is like. Her mom is a lawyer, and her dad creates web-pages. Abby's favorite thing to do is to write in her journal. When Mrs. Kanor's fifth grade class gets a creative writing teacher once a week, Abby thinks that the best day of the week is now Thursday, the day Ms. Bunder comes and teaches creative writing.

There are a number of books in the Abby Hayes series, and each one deals with a problem that Abby tries to solve. For instance, in one of the books, Abby's best friend, Jessica, moves away, and Abby is suddenly left without any friends to hang-out with. Read the series to find out what other problems she has to solve in The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes.

This book is in the series of Amazing Days of Abby Hayes.  It is about a girl named Abby. She wants to be a better soccer player. She also has to deal with her 2 older twin sisters, her younger brother, and 5th grade. The purple writing is her journal. The rest of the book is written in third person. This is a really good book.

This book is about a girl named Abby who is starting fifth grade. Her perfect older twin sisters and her genius little brother have proved their Hayes' worthiness. Abby wants to prove she can do something and that she has the capability to do something extraordinary. She wants to get in the Hayes Book Of World Records. I really enjoyed this book because it is about a normal girl's life, which I like. It is almost like any of our lives with a different personality.

This book is about a girl named Abby Hayes. She has a super family but she is not so super. She can't do stuff like being a math wiz like her brother or being good at all sports like her twin sisters. She is just a girl that likes to read calendars and loves creative writing. Abby writes about everything and she write everywhere. She even writes in her journal when her teacher is teaching!  But Abby wants to be super just like her family. Her best friend Jessica is into soccer so Abby decides she wants to be a soccer star. She does everything she can to become a soccer star. She even writes 100 per day "I will become a soccer start by the end of the season.

Do you think Abby will become a soccer star? You will be surprised by the ending!

The cool thing about this book is you feel like you are actually looking at Abby's journal  because all of her journal entries are written in purple and the rest of the book is in black. I would rate this book a "9" because it really keeps you interested!
