Always Abigail by Nancy Cavanaugh

Sixth grader Abigail, assigned a different homeroom than her two best friends and made only the alternate on the pom-pom squad, learns a lot about popularity and true friendship when paired with unpopular Gabby for a year-long "Friendly Letter Assignment."

  1. This book is very surprising because she hates Gabby and wants to be a pom but in the end she and Gabby are bffs and hates the poms

    I don't like this book because it is so girly. I'm surprised she switched from not liking Gabby to liking Gabby.

    P.S.
    She should have NEVER liked the poms

    I loved this book because I can totally relate to it and now this amazing book has me wondering about the rest of my life. Me and my BFFs have been going through some drama and this book totally helped me. This was a really fun book and I wish I could keep it. I hope she writes a second book. I absolutely LOVED this book and would recommend it to any girl.

    ****great
    It took me a little while to finest this book but it was worth it. When i started reading this book i couldn't stop. I under stand what Abigail is going through because sometimes things can get a little bad between your friends but you can't help it because you have other things to do. That is why i like this book because every one can relate to it.

    1. Charlotte...I agree with you! I think that everyone can relate to this book. We all have problems with friends from time to time.

  5. ****Great! I agree, this is definitely a book that is more for the girls. I finished it all in one day. I love all the things that Abigail learns about herself and friendship throughout the book. Loved when she finally decided to do the right thing! Do you think she waited too long?

  8. ****great
    I liked the book a lot. It was really interesting by how Abigail changed completely during the book. She went from "I have to get into this squad" to "I really don't want to especially when I have to make fun of people". I like she also became friend with Gabby and Jackson at the end. I would recommend this book to.....well......anybody who has problems with their friends really.

    My favorite character was Gabby. I liked her because she was always nice. Abigail was mean to Gabby in the beginning. At the end of the story she was her best friend.

    I thought it was really cool how her and friends wanted to join the pom pom squad.It was also really cool how she watched them with her friends ever since 3rd grade. she always finds ways to always be herself.

  25. *** Great
    I liked how abigal decided to choose to be friends with the school outcast rather than her friends that she has known since 3rd grade. my favirote part was when she stuck up for gabby in the hallway.And she can be herself and not act like someone shes not.I recomend this book

  26. Great*** I like this book because she was like a drama girl and she loved making notes ...sometimes she reminds me of my sister because my sister liked making notes on everything and so did Abigal. Another reason why I liked this book is because she is a cool girl and she is a cool friend Read this book to rind out more

  29. *** I loved it
    I loved this book because it talks about friendship and even though there is times were you don't get along the still are best friends and I love pom-poms so that is another reason that I like thus book.If you read this book I hope you like it too.:) :)

  30. *** I like this book,
    even though she made alternet in pom-pom practice, she didn't like her friends at one point, she says that she has the worst teacher ever and she had to do a letter to a friend named gabby so Abigail hasn't liked her school so far I hope she can make it the best school year she has ever had, maybe it will be even better than her summer vacation I hope if you read this book you will like it even more than I did.
