bibliotequeish's review
When you were too old for childrens books, but too young for The Baby Sitters Club.
Ann M. Martin really is a genius to piggy back on the success of The Baby Sitters Club.
After reading the little sisters series I remember feeling like a real adult opening up that first BSC book.

AMM, I am disappoint. This book is rather tame. Karen's big joke is that it turns on her and makes her seem like an idiot. It also seems like a rather large joke for a seven-year-old to really pull. Sure, I can see her trying to set it up, but it seems a little too elaborate.
The cover is also rather insane. Karen and Pamela (who look closer to ten than seven) are in detail, while their classmates appear to be a rather smudgy, painted mural. They don't have any outlining, either. Even when I was reading this as a six-year-old, I thought the cover was ridiculous.
But at least this was one of the few Baby-Sitters books actually written by Ann M. Martin.
