Westminster Abby

Cute coming-of-age story about an American foreign exchange student studying in London. Abby struggles with her own independence and two love interests against the backdrop of merry old England. A typical storyline, but appropriate for kids 13 .

Abby has always considered herself to be a little vanilla: sweet, plain, but not very exciting. So when she finds herself flying across the ocean to London, trying to forget her problems with her cheating ex-boyfriend and her overprotective parents, she figures her semester abroad is her chance to become one big hot fudge sundae. And she isn't disappointed. London boasts a plethora of funky pubs and shops, drivers on the wrong side of the street, French fries called chips, and a very charming Brit named Ian. As Abby moves closer to the vision of her wild child self, she realizes that sometimes leaving what you know best actually brings you closer to what you best know: yourself.

Much better than your average teen girls series. the concept it fun and means that each book in the series is located in a different place and features a different girl...

Abby's parents keep a close and watchful eye on her: no going out on school nights, Friday night is "family night," and only sleepovers with her best friend Dori. But that's all going to change. Abby is on her way to England for a 10 week exchange program. Will she be able to handle all that freedom? And will she ever be able to decipher such british terms as boot, lorry, jumper and trainer? Part of a new series, which includes trips to France, Italy, and Spain.
