I thought, it was creepy Sam was checking out a 7 year old. That's too young. Now, if they were in their 30's. They can go out. Just 8 years difference. Seeing Pamela & Sam dating in their 30's. Oh boy. Sam, will probably date her once. Find other girl to date with. Now that you've pointed it out, I could totally see Sam going out with Pamela at least a couple of times if they were closer in age.

Sam would never put up with the sort of girl that I figure Pamela's sister probably is.

^High-maintenance? Kristy said that he liked a girl, Monique, in their neighborhood in Kristy and the Snobs who was like that. Don't know if they actually dated, though...

One thing I loved about this story is that Karen seemed friendlier with all the girls in her class. I know all about the 3 musketeers, it was just refreshing to see, especially Jannie and Leslie be so nice and apart of the others fun. I wish at least one of them (J or L) had not decided to (for the most part) only be friends with Pamela. I admit after reading through all 10 pages my head is somewhat spinning. I could have sworn someone said how Ricky and Karen's flirting in this story was so much more genuine than the relationship (at least later on) betweem MA and Logan. ITA. It was so cute when Karen told us she wouldn't have minded if Ricky had crashed the sleepover because they were friends. At the end of the book she tells him maybe he can come to the next sleepover. I wonder if he truly would/could have? I think I maybe had one boy, usually one of the only boys who came to any party I had in HS, come to a sleepover. I do have the memory of also attending a sleepover with one (different) boy present. Back to this, Kristy tells Karen that at BSC sleepovers she and her friends make fudge and play truth or dare? They do?! That sounded more like the Sleepover Friends to me! More tomorrow. ETA: This book and "Karen's Pen Pal," are two where Karen mentions Watson having "lots and lots of money" and also about his mansion. I am very glad that really wasn't a chapter 2 consistency in the LS or something Karen made a big deal out of.

They only started calling themselves the Three Musketeers at the end of this book.

It shows how toxic one person can be to a group. Pamela changed the whole dynamic to Ms. Coleman's girls. If she hadn't shown up then Karen, Hannie and Nancy may have never felt the need to make their own little gang.

Leslie and Jannie seemed sweet in this book for sure...and Pamela didn't find them childish for their wind up puppy and leopard nightie the way she found Karen childish for Moosie, Tickly and the playroom
I never really noticed the fudge and truth or dare part was an inconsistency till now, but the makeup part was true and there were tons of sleepovers where they put on makeup so I didn't really overanalyze it

I read this because it's been raining, thundering, and lightning here and I love the part during the sleepover where the storm comes...noticed at the end when they have a picnic breakfast, Nancy tells them she won't eat the bacon -- cut to the illustration and Nancy's putting a piece of bacon in her mouth. It couldn't be anything else because all they had was pancakes and bacon...unless she cuts her pancakes into strips

^I used to love Carl's Jr French Toast sticks with powdered sugar because they reminded me of Churros. The odd thing is I have never liked "real" French toast. BooBoo, I just looked at the illustration and unless Karen and Hannie have something other than bacon on their plates, Nancy's looks identical to theirs. That is funny how you said maybe Nancy made (very thin) pancake strips. Supprazz, the only fudge mentions I can think of are when MA suggest to Dawn they make fudge in #4. I have always wished we had gotten to read that and in Stacey's Emergency. I think MA had a piece of fudge in Sea City, too. Lol, now I want something fudgy.

I remember the fudge very well in Stacey's Emergency but it wasn't at a sleepover, it was Charlotte and Becca during a sitting job, I felt so bad for Stacey that day LOL
That's funny about the illustration being wrong too LOL
I wonder what the scenes would have been like if they experimented with makeup (maybe Karen should have bought a cheap makeup set from Merry Go Round or asked her friends in person to sneak some as she had in Karen's Haircut) they could have taken polaroids of themselves being goofy, as there were no phone cameras yet

^ maybe she made herself french toast sticks? My niece's school serves french toast sticks for hot lunch sometimes, or, as my niece calls them, "those weird shape chicken nuggets that don't really taste like chicken nuggets." She is convinced the syrup they serve with it is to dip the accompanying sausages in.

No wonder I always packed.

ugh, Pamela was such a brat in this one. I mean, yeah, she was a brat in every LS book, but in this one, I especially couldn't stand her! she was such a picky brat! if I were Karen, I would've kicked her out of the sleepover without a second thought, haha.
