    About this audiobook

    Critically acclaimed author Frances O'Roark Dowell has penned numerous books for young adults, including the Edgar Award-winning Dovey Coe. The Second Life of Abigail Walker introduces listeners to Abby, a sixth grader who's a little heavier than her peers--and who shoulders the brunt of their ridicule because of it. Finally giving up on trying to fit in, Abby discovers a new life, and new friends, waiting just around the bend.
