Bookroo's summary

Nine-year-old Abby McAdams is caught in a whirlwind of change. Her best friend has moved away, her mom's new job means less time together, and she's stuck in an after-school activity she hates. As Abby navigates the awkwardness of growing up, an encounter with homelessness in her town shifts her perspective. With her body changing and no best friend to lean on, Abby must find her way through the chaos of growing up. Can she handle it all and find her place in this new world?

From the publisher

From prolific author Megan E. Bryant comes the first book in a young middle-grade series about nine-year-old Abby, a girl trying to grapple with all the chaos that can come from growing up. For nine-year-old Abby McAdams, everything seems to be changing. Her cousin and best friend, Zoe, has moved across the country, her mom is going back to work, and Abby is stuck in the only after-school activity still available–running–which she absolutely loathes. Her perspective on the world is changing, too, after an encounter in her community sheds light on the issue of homelessness in her town. On top of everything, sudden changes in Abby’s body mean she has to deal with things like deodorant, bras, and uncomfortable conversations. And without her best friend by her side, she’s not sure she can handle it all. She’s not a grown-up yet, but she definitely doesn’t feel like a little kid anymore. She’s Abby, in between.
