All right

Usually I like the first BSC books, even though they can be confusing sometimes. I like Claudia, too. She's probably my favorite baby-sitter. Howevr, I felt while reading this book that it should be called, "Janine and Mean Claudia". I mean seriously Claudia did not even try to get along with Janine during half the story. I did not like the part when she saw Janine out in the lawn and got mad because Janine hadn't asked about Mimi. Janine was right, Claudia didn'y give her a chance to. I feel for Janine in this book, but overall it's all right. It could be better.

The play group part was okay. I've been reading these books for years and sometimes I just wish they were the friendship cub or something and the book was just about the one conflict, not that = baby-sitting. I mean, I really don't care to read about diaper changes and stuff. But what can you expect? It's the baby-sitters club. But seriously, Martin should be a little more crative with her organization; in almost every book it's like this: first chapter the main character (whomever it might be) sees so-and-so at school or summer or whatever and something happens. Next chapter: the character tells us about the other club members while either going to a meeting, sitting in a meeting, or waiting for dinner. Then (usually after a couple of job calls) they tell us how the club was created. Then some random parent calls and asks for a regular sitter. Then something happens at home or school that somehow relates to the sitting job which turns out to be a problem. The story goes on to oh so creatively switch between the two conflicts and the character somehow solves both problems.

Coem on. You know it's true. That formula is not so apparent in the earlier books, though; the earlier books have more dept or somehting.

Don't get me wrong. These books are all right. They're just repetitive and not so creative. I think they just need more variety and serious issues. Not a lot of drugs or anything I mean these books are for kids, but just typical high school problems.

Okay. Overall, this book IMO is one of the lesser earlier BSC books. The Mimi situation was well portrayed and that's the good part. The bad part was Claudia and Janine. It's an important book in the series but overall not very good.

Claudia, Janine and Mimi

This book to start is very well written, the BSC starts a kids play group but when Claudia's grandmother, Mimi, has a stroke, Claudia can't help with the play group anymore, but it shows how Claudia will do anything to help her grandmother.
GREAT Book, well worth the money.

Claudia and mean janine

i liked this book but i thought claudia was really mean to janine. janine seems a little snooty but claudia was too mean. i thought it was sad that mimi had a stroke but cool that claudia was so nice to mimi

Claudia and Mean Janine

The reason I put this book for five stars is becuase it really is interesting.The part where Mimi has a stroke really scared me because I was worried about Claudia loosing Mimi because I know what it is like to loose someone very close to you.So I really was worried but when the doctors said that Mimi was going to be okay I was so happy.But I really liked the part in this book when Claudia and Janine were being nice to each other.It kinda sounds like my sister and I.I really enjoyed this book even tho some of this book they spoke Japanese I still liked it.Oh!One more thing I don't like this book..........I LOVE it.I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will too.
