Eva currently has a very shy boyfriend named Stephan in Sealed With A Kiss.
- Isabel is Abby's older sister and Eva's twin, another 'SuperSib'. She is a freshman and very intelligent, who loves history (especially wars) and nail polish. She starred in plays in middle school and always dresses fashionably. She also does lots of debates.
- Alex is Abby's younger brother, who is in second grade but can already build robots. He is a master at video games and a computer whiz. He really loves to play chess. He also looks up to Abby.
- Olivia Hayes is Abby's mother. She is a lawyer and a person who would do anything to ensure the best for her kids. It's because of her promotion in her job that they all move to a new house in Home is Where the Heart Is.
- Paul Hayes is Abby's father. He runs his own business from his office in their home. He helps the kids out when they're uncomfortable every single time. In The Best Is Yet To Come, when Olivia's friend Laurie comes to visit, she has certain conditions she wants everybody to follow, like not eating any junk food or sugar or wheat. But Paul hides a stash of chocolate in his office and gives it to the kids after each boring meal.
- Grandma Emma is Abby's favorite grandma because she is always sending her new calendars. When the family goes on a vacation Abby wants to go visit her grandma but no one agrees with her. Abby suggests they bring her along and the family yells "YES!!!"
- Cleo is Abby's cousin. In "Everything New Under the Sun", Abby meets her. She is shown to be stuck-up and rude to Abby at the beginning of the book, but warms up to her later after a fight between the two goes nowhere and they start laughing at how ridiculous they were. She enjoys dancing and drama, has traveled a lot, and is girly.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“My Friend is not of some other race or family of men, but flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. He is my real brother.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The son will run away from the family not at eighteen but at twelve, emancipated by his gluttonous precocity; he will fly not to seek heroic adventures, not to deliver a beautiful prisoner from a tower, not to immortalize a garret with sublime thoughts, but to found a business, to enrich himself and to compete with his infamous papa.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–67)
“The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. Virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
