1-3Abby and the Book Bunch series.
Illustrated by
Amanda Chronister.
Movie introduces library-loving Abby and her friends, and these illustrated chapter books follow them through third grade. Some mild conflicts (a pink hair dye prank) and mysteries (a possible ghost) provide action and reasons to utilize library resources. Unfortunately, the boys always move chairs and use tools while the girls serve cookies. Engaging facts and activity suggestions are appended. Review covers these Abby and the Book Brunch titles: Claim to Fame, The Haunted Sleepover, Movie Mishaps, and The Mystery of the Golden key.
