Jill's crush on Dawn was funny. "What are you doing today what are you wearing where are you going I wanna do what the teeeeenagers do." Word about the boring Karen/Martha chapters. Martha seemed pretty mature for her age and there was Karen with her, "I am your friend. I will find you other friends. You will be so popular!" Annoying. She didn't have a crush. Jill idolised Dawn. There's a big difference.

in Australia you're legally an adult at 18. Unlike America which is 21. It's 18 in the US too. 21 is the legal age for vice stuff, like alcohol and gambling.

Just finished this one and let me get this right. Georgio was in college and lusting after Claud who is a kid. That's just disgusting and wrong. In Australia we would call him a pedophile or worse. If a 17/18 year old adult (in Australia you're legally an adult at 18. Unlike America which is 21.) is after a minor he'd be arrested. Come on. He’s not a pedophile. He was most likely a teen crushing (I said it again!) on another teen, who appeared older to him. I’m giving him some leeway if he was 18/19, but if he was 20/21 then yes, that’s kind of questionable. It’s also possible to edit your post and not have three posts in a row.

This is off topic, but I guess most car rental places want you to be 25+ or there may be extra fees? I've never rented a car. I just thought that was funny. I also completely missed any discussion about cigarette sales being raised to 21 a few years ago. It must not have been that controversial. I'm a non smoker and old person, so it didn't affect me.
I haven't read this book, but I would call an 18/19 year old who was crushing on an 8th grader a loser. How was this different than the Stacey/lifeguard Scott or Dawn/Travis situations? Everyone hated them.

It isn’t different. I just wouldn’t go as far as to call him a pedo.

So I wrote reviews of all the regular Super Specials (which you can find in their message boards) and decided it was time to do the same for the Super Mysteries! I've just finished the one for the first book and have it ready! This took me a long time to write! As you can see, it's very long, so you may want to save this for when you need something to read! I hope you all enjoy it! I had fun writing it; there's a lot of crazy sh*t that goes down in this book! thebookshelfofsara.blogspot.com/2023/09/baby-sitters-mystery-in-maine.html
