eBook
Hi, it's me, Abbey. And I have started a new diary. Mother and I have moved to a beautiful new home in a very rich neighborhood. Sadly, this came about because she and Father have split up. But I'm not going to talk about that because it makes me very sad. Instead I'm going to tell you about the new friends I made--some good, some not so good. Some human, some not so human. There was Travis, the cutest boy in school. I couldn't believe when he wanted to spend time with me studying! I've never had other girls me jealous of me before. But the best friend I could ever have is Liam, a wiry red-headed athlete with whom I've shared my craziest adventures.This diary ends up being a story about the Wejjits, a colony of magical creatures that live in a cavern beneath my home. And then there's Binky, the adorable and mischievous Wejjit. Together, along with the rest of the colony, we embark on an amazing adventure: making great friends (Liam in particular), discovering the mysteries of Allanda, thwarting bullies, fighting Barats, and even going up against a dragon!Throughout this adventure, I dared to do things I'd never dreamed of. I learned how to stick up for myself as well as for those who matter, not to care what others think or say, and how to believe in me. Most of all, in discovering Allanda, I discovered who Abigail Rhodes really is.
