WARNING: DO NOT BELIEVE THE STORY YOU'RE ABOUT TO READ.
Well, you can believe some of it. There is some real history. But also hijinks. Time travel. And famous figures setting off on adventures that definitely never happened--till now. Time is getting twisted, and it's up to two kids to straighten things out.
Abraham Lincoln may have returned to history books, but other historical figures saw what he did--and now they know they can escape from their times, too. When Abigail Adams decides there's more to life than doing chores in the White House, she joins a crew of Caribbean pirates! Can siblings Abby and Doc set history straight? Or will they be the ones who need to be rescued?

Abigail Iris has a half-birthday coming up, and it's the perfect excuse to ask for the adorable kitten up for adoption at her local farmer's market. She knows being a pet owner means new responsibilities, and with lots of other changes happening around her-like a new baby brother for Only Friend-Abigail has her work cut out for her with this pet project.
Father still has his courage. Grandfather still has his magic wand. And his granddaughter knows he can bring Abiyoyo back, then make him disappear. But Abiyoyo is dangerous. People think the giant will eat them. Will lots of good food and beautiful songs keep Abiyoyo happy long enough to move the boulder and once again leave the town in peace?
Briskly funny and full of incident, The Abominables is vintage Ibbotson. With unforgettable characters and thoughtful messages about the environment and advocacy, it's a generous last gift to her many devoted fans. Praise for The Abominables
STARRED REVIEWS
A satiric farewell from a favorite author.
--Kirkus Reviews, starred review A memorable finale to a treasured body of work.
--Publishers Weekly, starred review The novel is full of whimsy, charm, and sly humor. The yetis will tug at readers' heartstrings and make them laugh. The writing is lean, witty, and subtle. Ibbotson manages to touch on ethical messages of human rights, advocacy, and environmentalism without being obvious.
--School Library Journal The writing is skillful, precise, and frequently funny, and it offers an effective counterbalance to some of the story's more serious social criticism...
--Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books Readers will enjoy Ibbotson's final book.

* Combining the literary sensibility of E. B. White with the insouciance of Louis Sachar, Graff has written a tangle that should satisfy readers for years to come.--Booklist, starred review Double Dog Dare
Graff's...story is lighthearted and humorous, but honestly addresses the emotions associated with divorce. Her characters' voices, interactions, and hangups are relatable, as they battle each other and adjust to their families' reconfigurations.--Publishers Weekly
