Hi everyone, 

Hope you are all ready for Halloween. I'm dressing up as a Corpse Bride and my sister Kaitlyn is dressing up as a vampire.

I've nearly finished my ninth book now. I'm looking forward to the mid-term break. Loads more time for reading!

So far my family and friends have helped me raise €1900 in off-line sponsorship. Some of my family & friends have used the 'Sponsor Abigail' page to help out too. Thank you to everyone! Maybe if you haven't had a chance yet you could check out the page.

Good luck with your reading!

Talk soon!

Thanks,

Abigail : )

In this world you can be anyone you want to be or go anywhere you want to go.

The invaluable resource, mykidstime.ie is a one-stop shop for parents all across Ireland. Filled with up to date information on how to help families get the most out of every day, there are MyKidsTime groups and events happening up and down the country.

Last week we asked you what is the only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter. The correct answer is uncopyrightable.
