The Declaration of Independence — Anne Mazer

"All Men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." - Thomas Jefferson

Thursday--
If even unaliens have rights, then I should, too!
I should be able to go to the Festival with my friends.
I should be able to go without a little brother tagging along.
I should be able to have my freedom!
--Abby Hayes

This year the Fall Festival at the high school will be the best ever. Abby wants to go with her friends -- not her parents and little brother. But first she has to prove how mature she has become. Abby plans to clean the house, take care of her brother, and make her family breakfast. It is a great plan for independence...until disaster strikes.
