I've noticed that Mallory and the Dream Horse has come up very often... this is one of my favourite Mallory books so can anyone explain why they don't like it out of interest, I'm curious

Well, the reason I don't like Dream Horse is because I find the horse stuff to be unbearably boring and I find Mallory to be unbearably pathetic in that book.

Hmm. I just reread Stacey's Lie today and I quite liked it. I thought Stacey was an unbearable brat but I still liked it. Stacey's Secret Friend is the worse Stacey book in my opinion. Mary Anne and the Search for Tigger Jessi and the Superbrat Kristy and the Copycat
The second one where Mallory whines about her family all the time. Not "Mallory On Strike" but a later one.

i'm basically going by most boring/pointless books, not the stupidity of the plot or how bratty the main character seems in it. sometimes that's better and can lead to lots of snarky fun. this is why mallory pike, #1 fan did not make the list.
kristy and the baby parade mary anne and camp BSC claudia, queen of the seventh grade stacey's choice or whatever dawn and the big sleepover abby and the best kid ever (was there ANY plot really?) jessi's gold medal i actually like all mallory books. maybe mallory hates boys (and gym)

I'm another person who likes Mallory and the Dream Horse. Come to think of it, I don't understand how Dream Horse could be anybody's least favourite Mallory book when Mallory Pike, #1 Fan is so, so terrible.

Haven't read #1 Fan for a long time but don't remember liking that one. I do really like Dream Horse, also a lot of the other ones people seem to list. For some reason, I don't mind Baby Parade and Big Sleepover at all. My least favorites right now are: Kristy Thomas, Dog Trainer and Secret of Susan Claudia and the Bad Joke Stacey and the Bad Girls or Stacey's Ex-Boyfriend (or maybe Stacey's Broken Heart - I really don't mind any of the Stacey books too much but don't love a lot of them) MA and the Search for Tigger Dawn Saves the Planet Abby the Bad Sport (though it is growing on me, too) Jessi and the Awful Secret Mal #1 Fan (I think - I haven't read it for a while, either)

I'm not sure why not many people like "Jessi's Wish" ....to me it was always endearing...maybe because I suffered from a blood disease when I was a child, so kids with cancer always have a special place in my heart.

^ I do like Jessi's Wish too. And Jessi and the Troublemaker might even be in my top 25 or so favorites. I wish Danielle had been in more books.

LOL, it looks like I'm one of the only ones who actually liked Jessi's Wish Although I can understand some of the hate for it. It's definitely not the best in the series.

I like Jessi's Wish. I haven't read it in a while, but I don't remember disliking it. #1 Fan is pretty bad, but I think Dream Horse is the worst Mal book just cause her at riding lessons is so *snoooore*

Kristy & the Secret of Susan Mary Anne & the Search for Tigger -- ahhhh it kept going and going Dawn & the School Spirit War -- found this at the beach house last year and I couldn't get past the first few chapters The Mystery at Claudia's House -- Bo-ring! The one where Mallory hates gym and decides to get into archery
can't think of any others, and I know absolutely nothing about Abby, so nothing to contribute there.

^ The first two are also my least favorites and School Spirit War is one of my least favorite Dawn books with Dawn Saves the Planet being first. I also really don't like MA and the Memory Garden, especially the subplot.
