Abigail Gets Left Out: Can’t sing. Can’t dance. Can count on Jesus! (Christian fiction novel exploring friendship. Great gift for kids ages 7+ middle grade.)

Fun, absorbing novel for children aged 7+ that explores the difference Jesus makes when we don’t fit in. 9-year-old Abigail can’t sing, and she can’t dance. So when her friends start rehearsing a musical performance, Abigail feels very much left out and self-conscious. Isn’t she good at anything? Doesn’t anybody want to be her friend? Jesus does! When Abigail reads Psalm 139, she realises that Jesus made her wonderfully, just the way she is, so she doesn’t need to worry about not being good at musical things. And when she encounters John 15, Abigail learns that Jesus loves her perfectly and empowers her to be a loving friend, even when others let her down. As Abigail sees what a wonderful friend Jesus is, it transforms her other friendships–and it ends up transforming the girls’ musical performance too!
