I like the original members the best. As in, first, Kristy, MA, Claudia and Stacey, then Dawn, then Jessi and Mallory. abby doesn't feel like a REAL member of the bsc to me. i never read that far into the series U_U but i’m not very fond of abby because she isn’t an “original” member.

Nonetheless, I loved her from her first appearence. I found myself identifying with her in the silliest of ways, and I *did* - and still do - laugh at her lameass jokes (I adore bad humour) - and she was thirteen, Jewish with big hair - when I first read her books, she reminded me a lot of myself in the same way Mallory used to a few years before. I wish she'd have been there longer, or at least focused on more; admittedly I haven't read many of the later books (they were never avaliable in the UK!) but from the few I have read, she never seemed as developed as the other characters.

April 1st?? wtf?? Lol. The second and third books didn't come otu that far apart. *sigh* back on topic. I like Abby too, even her quirkyness.. Her personality was actualy pretty distinct, and you could pick up a book and not look at the cover and pretty much know who was talking. ARgh!!!!! April 1st?? wtf?? Lol.

The idea of her as a character annoys me a bit (mostly for the same reasons you mentioned - being a mishmash of the other sitters plus her distinct inability to make me laugh), but I don't really mind her books - I even quite like "Abby's Lucky Thirteen" and her Portrait Collection.
