The Fabulous Five is an American book series by Betsy Haynes in the late 1980s.
Written mainly for preteen girls, it is a spin-off of Haynes' other series about Taffy Sinclair.
It centers on five best friends; Jana Morgan, Melanie Edwards, Beth Barry, Christie Winchell, and Katie Shannon, along with their other classmates at Wakeman Junior High (fondly nicknamed 'Wacko Jr. High' by the students).
The Fabulous Five series follows the girls as they move on to junior high school.
Each book is written from the perspective of one of the girls and incorporates tidbits about each family, insight into how each girl feels about the issue at hand, and how she feels about the boy in her life.
