The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes: Every Cloud has a Silver Lining by Anne Mazer

 
 

All her life Abby has felt far too “ordinary” for her “extraordinary” family. She secretly wonders if she was switched at birth! How could she be surrounded by such talented people and be so plain? Even her little brother is a genius!

Abby is determined to turn things around in fifth grade when she dreams of becoming a famous soccer star. With a lot of practice and effort, she believes she will finally fit in with her brilliant and talented family.
