I have read all the books in the Abby hayes series and love them all. They are easy to make personal connections with and are very realistic. In this one, Abby Hayes has to use SuperSis Eva's old, scuffed up Rollerblades. She has a race with her brother Alex but thanks to the Rollerblades she lost and had to play chess with him. Then she saw perfect Rollerblades in the store window. Will she ever earn enough to get the Rollerblades? You'll have to read the book to find out.

This and the rest of the Abby Hayes series are amazing! The books are wonderful and very cool. There is one problem though: Anne Mazer (the writer) repeats the same thing over and over. Like about Abby's friend Jessica and how she has asthma. That kind of gets frustrating. But, overall, this book is great!

This is one of my faveorite books in the Abby Hayes series. Anne Mazer writes this book in such a fun way, this book is definitly a not to be skipped!

I love the Amazing Days of Abby Hayes books! They TOTALLY rock! I hope Anne Mazer writes a LOT more books about Abby and her friends!

A very fun book with lots of imagination! I love Abby's money makin' schemes! I think this is the best book so far! Like always Abby is in the middle of things and is writing, writing, writing! I think if you like the Abby Hayes series you should read this! Oh, yeah. And if you haven't read the Amazing Days of Abby Hayes, you should read them!

There's only one thing Abby Hayes wants, rollerblades. All of her friends and family have new ones, but she's stuck with her older sister, Eva's old ones she can't even unbuckle! She'd buy her own, but she has no money and whenever she gets money she spends it! How will she get the money? Read the book to find out!

Have Wheels Will Travel Is a terrific book, full of fun and a few surprises! I enjoyed this book a lot and loved the journaling best!

Out of all the books I read this year the one I loved the most was The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes! It all starts out when Abby saw a pair of beautiful shiny roller skates. But the problem is that they cost $140!! That was a lot for Abby. So she tried everything to get the money. Abby starts a lemonade stand and earns $4.75. By the end of the week she earned $8.00. After one month she has a total of $32.00. But she wastes all the money. Abby just keeps on trying to get those roller skates. Will she make the money to get the roller skates? You'll have to read the book to find out the ending! Go out and read it! You will love it.

Poor Abby Hayes! Every time she receives money she ends up spending it. She is having such a hard time saving up for her new rollerblades!

I like that Abby is not always spending her money on herself, but sometimes spends it on friends. Toward the end, this idea is again repeated when she has extra money that she chooses to spend on friends, teachers, and family. Appreciating others is a nice subtle message in this book.

The book has a mixture of text and diary like entries which makes it fun for kids to read. Abby tries a few different ways to earn money which are nicely woven into the story. I am always on the look out for books using a fictional story to teach children about money (as they seem to be fairly rare). This was certainly a worthy find.

I am a BIG fan of this series. This book acutally gave me the idea of having a garage sale. So,Abby wants new rollerblades,not Eva's(her SuperSis who is a twin)rollerblades. The ones that she wants are dark and shiney but best of all,they have purple wheels with a swirling,bright desing that would flash when they turned. Abby just has to have them...but how. She does her chores,looks on the streets for money,washes her dad's car and, takes care of Marshmallow(her neighbor's cat).She's going out of town for a week and when Heather(name of the neighbor) comes back she will give her $10.Perfect...until Marshmallow escapes. Uh-oh,wants a 10 year old girl to do? Read it for yourself.

This is a great book, although I HATE to play rollerblade. Abby planned a garage sale and save money to buy herself some rollerblades with purple wheels!( Purple was Abby's favourite colour. So am I!)

P.S.:Question:Do people actually save money to buy rollerblades?I wonder who.

Before the garage sale, Abby did many things, but she only got a few dollars. So at the gargage sale, she earned $162.75! She could buy rollerblades,new pads and presents for her friends
and family who had help her while she earn money. At the end, she still have little money for herself.(PHOO!)
