Review
Abigail and the Great Gang trap is an imaginative middle-grade story with absolute truth, hope, and creative friends. Abigail and her dad are forced to give up country life and move to New York City for better opportunities in education and work. Unfortunately, they live in a neighborhood filled with gangs that snatch young children off the street. One night Abigail is late leaving her job and is accosted by some gang members but is recused by a fantastic duo called little wade and watch tower.
The author has taken all to a common problem: children being able to navigate the world safely and parents having to work more than they want to provide. Abigail’s father is not a bad dad, but he needs to work to keep them in a home, and Abigail works as well as attending school; both are made more difficult by the gangs. The author takes this problematic issue and puts a creative twist on it with the creativity of Little Wade, a ghost, and his fantastic friend Watchtower. The characters in this story are creative, and the simple story brings a lot of hope and positive messages to those who pick it up. I thoroughly enjoyed this tale and can not wait to see what else this author has in store for us.
