| Grade 2–4—Eight-year-old Abigail Iris, who has one sister and two stepbrothers, is jealous of her best friends who are only children. The "Onlys" seem to have everything that Abigail Iris wants, including heely shoes. That coveted fashion item is mentioned several times and may date the story in coming years. When Abigail Iris is invited to accompany her friend Genevieve on vacation, she gets a chance to experience "only" life up close. Her delight in staying in a hotel brings to mind Kay Thompson's Eloise. She and Genevieve play on the elevators and order room service. Despite the humorous situations, the gaiety is somewhat forced, and the life lessons are rather obvious. Of course Abigail Iris will miss her family, and of course Genevieve's mother will be irritated at her husband's inability to leave work behind, etc. Allen's occasional black-and-white drawings make the story more accessible for reluctant readers and help convey the protagonist's charm. The authors are aiming for the Judy Moody/Clementine audience, but Abigail Iris does not have their same spark. Still, the novel's light, breezy tone will attract girls looking for entertainment in an easy chapter-book format.—Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher's School, Richmond, VA

| Abigail Iris will be to young girls today like Ramona was to me when I was young. She is the new Ramona, precocious and fun, she is a 3rd grade version of Junie B. Jones. I just love her and her antics. This was a real fun book to read and I know that girls 7-10 will fall in love with Abigail Iris!
Glatt and Greenberg have written a great book and Joy Allen adds such fun with her illustrations. This could be a great classroom read-aloud! I can also see little girls anxiously waiting for their copy to come in at the library. It's just a quick fun read that will have them asking for more. Abigail Iris is charming, funny, full-of-life, and at times an annoyance to her siblings. When it's all said and done, will she want to be an only anymore?
