I am excited to announce that my newest book in the Abby & Holly Series – Book 5: The Copper Key is now here! This series has been so much fun to write. I will be starting on Book 6 soon. It’s easier to do it this way than wait and lose the momentum of the series.

This series carries life lessons for MG/PT/YA such as: friends and family are important, be kind, caring and respectful of others, and bullying is never tolerated or accepted. The series is dedicated to my granddaughter and my step granddaughter.

The cover was created by my talented husband, John. He has created all my covers. Kudos to John for his continued work on making my book covers beautiful!

I hope you will check out all the books in this award-winning series soon. Boys and girls and adults enjoy these books.

This Abby & Holly Series has won 8 Book Awards – 6 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards and 2 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards – Bronze Medal, and an Honorable Mention!

Reviews of Series on Amazon:

Book 1 Abby & Holly Series School Dance

Michael DeLucia5.0 out of 5 stars ENTHUSIASTIC 5 STARSReviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019Verified PurchaseAbby & Holly School Dance is part of a series, but it stands completely on its own. I didn’t read the other books in the series and that had no effect on the story, so don’t shy away because you haven’t read the other books. That said, I am now looking forward to finding Abby & Holly in Spina’s other books.

It’s is an award winning work written by author Janice Spina that has all the components of the quintessential YA novel. It deals with middle school issues such as bullying, friendship, standing up against one’s peers, and ghosts! Well, there are no ghosts in reality, but it’s certainly a cool topic for people of all ages.

I got the book based on a friend’s recommendation because I have a 4th grade granddaughter and wanted to read it before giving it to her. I loved it and she loved it as well! Janice Spina is able to jump right into the mindset of a sixth grader and that’s one of the reasons why the book is exceptional! An enthusiastic 5 Stars!!!

Book 2 Abby & Holly Series Unforgettable Events

Michelle Clements James5.0 out of 5 stars A Stellar Book With Important LessonsReviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018I am so excited about the Abby and Holly Series for girls, but it could be equally enjoyed by boys. In Abby & Holly Series Book 2: Unfortunate Events, Abby’s cousin, Holly, is faced with some difficult issues. While her parents are away on overseas jobs, Holly is living with Abby. Things go downhill when her parents return for a visit and her mother becomes ill. Throughout this trying time, Holly has a tremendous amount of support from Abby, her Aunt Jane and Uncle Bob, and two ghosts who live in Abby’s house, Felicity and Minerva. Of course, their friends Davey and Derek are there to help, too.
As with all of Spina’s children’s books, Unfortunate Events teaches life lessons such as respect, kindness toward others, and the importance of being polite. This book concentrates on handling the unexpected and overcoming life’s disappointments. The unexpected was Holly’s mother’s illness and hospital stay. With the love of her extended family, Holly was able to cope with her worry for her mother. Disappointment was addressed when her father announced that he was flying out to finish his work overseas. He explained to Holly the importance of fulling his obligations to his employer.
I highly recommend Abby & Holly Series Book 2: Unfortunate Events to all middle-graders, both girls and boys. The storyline is one that will keep children interested with its elements of suspense and mystery. Though there are references to a childhood crush, they are not a major component of the story and certainly not enough to deter boys’ interest. And who doesn’t love a friendly little ghost or two! As with all the author’s children’s books, this one is true to her ideals of writing books that encourage children to read while incorporating those all-important life lessons. As a book I think every parent will want their daughters and sons to read, I give Unfortunate Events 5 stars!

Book 4 Abby & Holly Series The Hidden Stairway
