good

The Baby Sitters get involved onstage and off in SMS school production of Peter Pan.


Okay,

Yes, this is unrealistic. Jessi drove me insane. She acted like she was all powerful just because she was a dancer. Then when she didn't get the part she wanted she acted like it was HER who was right and OTHERS that weren't.....Her attitude just drove me off the edge . But yes, I managed to finish the book.

One of the bests

This book was really good. When I am little my favourite book is Peter Pan and now it's the BSC-series-perfect! I like that idea Stacey and Sam play the Darlings but I think Jessi would be better Peter Pan than Kristy. My hobby is acting and now we're going to start Peter Pan! I want to be Tiger Lily, like Cokie, but Cokie is stupid. Especially when she said Jessi a little twerp.
I've read 22 books in finnish and 10-15 in english. And I like Starring the BSC is one of the bests in english.

Just Really Unrealistic

This book is really good, and if you put aside the fact that this could never happen in real life, then you'll enjoy it. However, there were lots of times in the story when I thought, "Yeah, right." First of all, the SMS play would not have elementary or high schoolers in it--they would SMS students play all the parts. Plus, the high-schoolers would be too busy with their own play. I think that whole thing was just to give Mary Anne (the backstage baby-sitter), Mallory (since she and Mary Anne were sort of fighting about that) and Stacie (Sam was acting ridiculous) a conflict. Next, the casting wasn't very accurate--and I know from being in several school and summer-camp productions myself. Kristy didn't try out for the part of Peter Pan, wasn't really a superstar during the auditions, hadn't memorized the lines she was going to read, and didn't even prepare a dance routine. That would DEFINITELY not impress the director enough the give her the lead role, unless, like, he favored her or something. Jessi would be much more likely to get the party-the only advantages Kristy had were that she was an eighth-grader and maybe the director wanted to let someone who hadn't been in the spotlight so much a chance to shine. Still...and Dawn would have really gotten in trouble if she had done that in real life--plus, who the heck cares if the play is sexist? It's not like men were going to go out and make women do everything after seeing Peter Pan. If you want a good but VERY inaccurate book, you would enjoy this, but otherwise, just skip it.

A Moment of Magic

I enjoyed reading this book. It is very interesting and fun. One part that I felt was missing was descriptions. Kristy didn't actually describe what it was like to be the star of the play. She was rather passive to it. I can't understand it, since at my school I was picked to play the lead role, Maria, in "The Sound of Music", and it was such an exciting adventure, and so amazing to do. I was the center of attention, having never wanting it ever before. In fact, it opened me up so much, personality-wise. It is something I will never ever forget. I felt that Kristy did not convey any of this.

I enjoyed reading this book a great deal. It was so similar to the way we put on our production at school. All the excitment, the anxiety, the tears and fights, the magic that went through the audience. The most amazing thing that I felt when I was on stage, and Jackie Rodowsky says this too, was the ability to make the audience laugh. You are give such a great force, only because you are the one in the spotlight. I think everybody ought to experience the stage at least once in their lifetime, because there is none like it in the whole world.

With Kristy in the title role in her school's production of Peter Pan, the show is certain to be a hit--that is, until Dawn interrupts rehearsals with the charge that the play is sexist.
