About the Book

Abigail Iris has a half-birthday coming up, and she knows it's the perfect excuse to ask for the adorable kitten up for adoption at her local farmer's market. After all, everyone else in her life seems to be getting something new: her Only friend Rebecca has a new baby brother on the way, and her brother Eddie has a new girlfriend named Molly. But Abigail finds that once the kitten is hers, he brings with him lots of new responsibilities and life lessons, too. Full of new beginnings, last good byes, and fresh starts, Abigail Iris: The Pet Project has just as much joy and heart as the first adventure.

Review :
"Third grader Abigail Iris is a happy-go-lucky girl. She has a nearly giddy relationship with her loving parents and an almost perfect one with her three siblings, two of whom are half brothers. She feels the pinch, however, of a budgeted household and the inconvenience of sharing her bedroom. She is ecstatic when she can go on vacation with her friend Genevieve, an only child. Instead of camping, they stay in a fancy hotel in San Francisco. Though the perks are great--room service!--Genevieve's dad is always on his cell phone, her mom verges on cranky and Genevieve starts to appear a bit spoiled. Gaining a new perspective, Abigail begins to miss her family. When the vacation is called to an abrupt halt Abigail is happy enough to adopt the authors' message: Being one of many is just fine, and more wealth is sometimes worse than less. With Allen's periodic homespun sketches and a breezy first-person text, this sweet slip of a story is recommended for those girls feeling the squeeze of a crowded and blended family." --"Kirkus Reviews""[A] spirited narration . . . Glatt and Greenberg are spot-on in their observations." --"Publishers Weekly" "Chapter-book readers who have recently outgrown the Junie B. Jones series will find this an engaging choice." --"Booklist" "Her delight in staying in a hotel brings to mind Kay Thompson's Eloise . . . the novel's light, breezy tone will attract girls looking for entertainment in an easy chapter-book format." --"School Library Journal"
