Abbie Adams is a regular twelve-year old girl with normal problems like a really strict sixth-grade teacher. She's chronically behind in homework, is wondering what to do about a boy everybody picks on, has to deal with false rumors of having a crush on a kid named Frankie and hopes like heck she can remember all her lines in the drama club play. And on top of all these problems, Abbie is also a witch who has to cope with outsized crises like her little brother morphing into a werewolf and trying to eat his first-grade teacher.
This is the life of Abbie Adams. Abbie's foremost challenge is to maintain the delicate balance between witchy and human life as she maneuvers her way through all the difficulties that any twelve-year old might face, while grappling with magical complications. With the comic and fantastical elements of her magical life juxtaposed against the workaday world that normal kids face, Abbie discovers humane and sensitive solutions to her problems that will help young readers sort out some of their own questions about life and relationships.
