(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Abby is an aspiring fashion designer. To cope with family issues, particularly a deteriorating relationship with her mother, Abby sends letters and sketches to First Lady Jackie Kennedy. The novel is a bit too precious, but the early 1960s setting is appealing and contains many authentic details. Fashion sketches (most drawn by the author as a girl) are included. Glos.
