i think that this book would be an inspiration to other peoples especially the children, because in this book, shows that Abby, wants to buy a new roller-skates. but she don't even have money to buy one. and then her sister, told her, that she could use her old roller-skates. but abby did not want to use her sister's roller-skates because it is vintage. and the roller-skates is the most popular shoes in their school. so instead, she asked help to her family if they could help abby, sell their vi

In the fourth book in the series, Abby Hayes has hand-me-down roller blades from her older SuperSis, Eva. Abby hates them, she can barely take them off! So she decides to save her money. Many unexpected things happen in the process, and someone in her family takes a trip to the emergency room! Abby finally gets an idea where she earns more than enough money to buy shiny purple roller blades she has had her eye on for a while. I liked this book because it is so interesting to see how Abby resists

In my opinion, Abbey Hayes is a very hardworking fifth-grader. She is tired of using her sisters rollerblades. Since her parents won't buy it for her, she starts to look for ways to make money. She does so many extra things around her house also outside the house she rakes leaves,takes care of pets and so much more. the problem is, is that Abby keeps spending the money. Also, she isn't making much and she is working very hard.

I learned that people should have allowence, because everyone wants money. So they can get allowence, so they can save it for college or anything they want. It's like doing something good, then you get a award.

This book talks about how Abby Hayes is longing for a roller skate but her parents tell her to make her own money to buy it herself.She thinks of many ways to earn money but every way she tries it doesn't really work. Finally her older sister recommends her to do a garage sale and at first Abby thought that it was a dumb idea but afterwards after she have tried it out she thought that it wont be really much money. Afterwards she finds out that she earned more than 300 dollars! I think that there

This book i read during per-planning at my mom's school. I liked that she had to work to buy the skates just not ask her parents and they gave her the money. Many parents these days just give their kids money or the thing the kid wants when the kids asks.
