Some Things Never Change
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Some things do never change and that is that this book is awesome, like all the Abby Hayes books! Abby's past best friend, Jessica is totally different. The old Jessica loved drawing, overalls, and astronomy. Now "Jessy" talks about boys, parties, manicures, and miniskirts. And Abby's two new best buds, Casey and Hannah, are ignoring her and they're telling secrets. Is Abby's world falling apart? How does she handle it? Read this awesome book and you'll find out! :-)
A fun read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In this book, Abby's friend Jessica, who recently moved to Oregon, comes back for a visit. And, boy, has Jessica changed. She now wears miniskirts and tank tops, chats with her boyfriend on her cell phone, has curly, auburn hair (it used to be straight and brown), and now goes by the name Jessy. Although Jessy is different from the Jessica that Abby was best friends with, Abby learns that, although she is often frustrated with Jessy, Jessy is still a loyal, fun friend. I think that Jessy's changes were pretty realistic. Moving away can definitely change people. This was a fun book to read, and I recommend it to anyone who likes the Abby Hayes series.
Read this review first!

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about! The same thing happened to me. My best friend moved away, and when I saw her again she was SOOOO different. Plus, who wants to read about characters who never change? BUY THIS BOOK! IT'S THE BEST ONE IN THE SERIES! Trust me, you'll love it.
The best book yet!!! Anne Mazer, I love you!!!!!!!!!

This book is so much better than all the rest!!! Now, don't get me wrong, the other books are fantastic also, but this one is one hundred times better!!! I love Abby Hayes and Anne Mazer!!! When Jessica comes back as Jessy, I got a little scared. What happened to Jessica??? But it's really not so bad after all, when Jessica proves to still be a great and kind friend for Abby. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a WONDERFUL book!!!!
Shocking, But Good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Shocking. So shocking. That's how I felt when I started to read Some Things Never Change. How could Anne Mazer let Jessy change like this? She has Tinted lip gloss? A cell phone? AUBURN HAIR? Let me summarize this book.Okay, Abby Hayes's former best friend, Jessy is coming to visit. Abby knows that she's changed, but as I mentioned this earlier, Jessy changed than more than Abby and I thought. Also, Abby's class is having a talent show. Surprisingly, Abby didn't act in the talent show, but her friends did. Also, it seemed like Hannah had no time to spend with Abby and a shocking thing happens between Hannah and Casey, according to Abby, of course.Btw, at the end of the book, where there's all the advertisements for books and stuff like that, it says that ABBY'S FINALLY GOING TO GRADUATE FROM THE FIFTH GRADE YAY! HOORAY!
