Claudia's is the one that's interesting me the most too. We've heard about Stacey/Laine in quite a few books already.

I just read the pages on Amazon - I like it so far!
The descriptions so far keep sounding like they're hinting that Kristy, Mary Anne, and/or Claudia are going to meet Stacey during the summer...I hope they don't do that, since the books say no one met Stacey until 7th grade had already started.
I searched the book on Amazon, and Mallory appears in the book! The Shillaber twins and Lauren Hoffman also show up. Uh oh, I already found a continuity error: Mary Anne says she's going to invite Jenny Prezzioso to a party for Kristy, but the BSC hadn't met Jenny when the books started. There's a mention of Mary Anne dressing up dolls! That's cute. Alan is mentioned but it doesn't look like he shows up. That's all I can glean out of the book for now. I'm excited!

How exciting! Only a few more weeks to go... well, many more for me, cause I ordered it off Amazon.com and the predicted shipping to take up to three weeks. If I see it in Australia before I get my copy, I'm buying it! What's the exact date? 1st April right?

Very exciting. It was a little bit of an odd (but cool) sensation reading something BSC that was so new.

I just read the pages on Amazon. Now I want to read more, too!
I don't really mind if stuff with Kristy's dad or Stacey and Laine's falling out get covered in this book. We've heard about it before, yeah, but I think it will be covered in a different way here.
I'm so glad this book is coming out soon so that we'll all have some new things to talk about! I love talking about the old books, but it's going to be so much fun to discuss the first new BSC thing to happen in a decade.

My husband told me last night we need to order the new book so that we can read it, Afton would have loved it. He's sure that he that Afton would have had him read it so they could discuss it. I can only imagine the posts Afton would put on the board about the new book

I got my copy! And I read it last night! I can't wait until more people have read it so we can start discussing it!
Yeah, I noticed the continuity error about Jenny. Maybe that's going to be changed somehow in the revised #4? Another inconsistency is that the way Stacey and Claudia first meet is not like it's described in other books.

^Jealous! I'm still waiting. Not thrilled to hear that Stacey and Claudia's first meetup is not consistent with the original description of it.
