Book Review: Kristy and the Walking Disaster

Book Review: Kristy and the Walking Disaster

Child Drama, and also Kristy has a crush on a guy named Bart, who, first of all, is named Bart. It’s cute to see Kristy growing up and flirting with boys a little bit, even though she will eventually realize she is gay! Three stars, because this is mostly Child Drama, and also because Kristy’s […]

Book Review: Good-bye, Stacey, Good-bye

Book Review: Good-bye, Stacey, Good-bye

This was a particularly bittersweet volume of the Babysitter’s Club as I knew Stacey was leaving for New York, even though I remember she eventually comes back. It was also very sad about Stacey and Charlotte Johansson. Also, the conversion from 80s money to 2020s money at the garage sale was not as bad as […]
