Book Review & Giveaway: The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams

-

Title: The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams
Author: Rhonda Hayter
Publisher: Dial
Published: April 1, 2010
ISBN: 978-0803734685

Summary:


















 This is a great book for kids 8-12 years old. Kayla is almost 8 but reads at a more advanced reading level and she really enjoyed it.  I think younger kids would still like it but would need help reading it.  I really liked that unlike many children's books (or books written for young readers) this book was exciting and interesting.  While it deals with problems kids may discover, it's not condescending or false sounding.  This story rings true. 

Like many people lately, Kayla is really into supernatural things like werewolves and vampires {and of course witches!}.  She loved the adventures of Abbie and she could relate to how her little brother is always bugging her. 

About the Author:
Rhonda Hayter was born in St. Jean, Quebec. She was an actress for some time, appearing in plays on tour and in New York and Los Angeles. Now she works as a story analyst for a famous movie producer. When she and her husband found themselves with two little boys, one of whom morphed into a werewolf one day, The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams was born. Rhonda now lives in Los Angeles with her family. This is her first book.

And thanks to her 1 lucky reader will win a hard back copy of her book!!!
