Hello! My name is Abby Dykes and I’m a senior here at Wakefield High School. This is my second year on The Howler. I’m on the women’s varsity tennis team, a member of National Honor Society, and I love to read and write. My favorite book I’ve read this year is Stolen by Lucy Christopher. Check out my profile for more book recommendations and reviews!

“In the highest civilization, the book is still the highest delight.”  – Ralph Waldo Emerson
