Out of Sight, Out of Mind (Abby Hayes #9)

Abby Hayes is an ordinary fifth grader trying to invent a role for herself in a seemingly perfect world. This series combines the edge of BRIDGET JONES with a send-up of self-help books.

Abby is desolate when her best friend, Jessica, goes away to spend several months with her dad. Abby promises Jessica she'll handle her baby-sitting job, but soon Abby gets fired. Will anything ever go right with Jessica away?
