Bookroo's summary
Abby dreams of being a star reporter but ends up writing an advice column, much to her dismay. Her new role stirs up trouble with classmates, yet it also opens a door to help a friend in need. Can Abby navigate the chaos and find her true calling?
From the publisher
When Abby’s class starts a newspaper, Abby envisions herself as the star reporter. But she’s only given an advice column to write - and that is not good. (Dear Abby isn’t her first choice in nicknames!) Just as she suspects, the column gets Abby in some trouble with her classmates. But, surprisingly, it also gives her a chance to help a friend.
