Toys to the rescue!

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.

Abby McAdams knows that BIG things are heading her way.Her eleventh birthday. The end of primary school! There's also the end-of-year overnight camping trip, and she can't wait to practice her science skills. Additionally, Abby suspects she’s probably going to get her period any day now. But after a few false alarms, she's not quite so sure. Can Abby navigate new emotions, friendship dynamics, and her changing body - all while figuring out what kind of person she wants to be? With plenty of humour and heart, this is an encouraging story of self-discovery, transformations, and forging your own path.
