This was such a funny book, watching Karen, Hannie and Nancy put together a newspaper and write stuff about people (like Hannie's dad's spare tire and Charlie's five dollar bracelet lol).

"Five dollars doesn't seem like much for a bracelet, but what do I know?" Heehee. I want to see that bracelet Charlie bought. I bet it turned the girl's wrist green.

I haven't read this book in quite awhile, but I remember laughing quite a bit. Is this the book the article about Hannie's dad's spare tire?

i loved how horrible Karen and Hannie were in this book. Later Hannie cries to Karen about how her dad didnt like the article. What did Hannie think was gonna happen?

I thought this book was cute. My sister and I made out own paper when we were little -- I'm sure that's something that many kids can relate to.
I liked how, at the end, Karen and her friends got actual jobs working for Stoneybrook News' childrens page. That was a pretty good idea!

My sister used to make a newspaper for our family on occasion. She wrote some articles and the cat wrote the rest and she'd type it up and hand it out. It was the best thing.
The girls put a ton of work into their Games Day, even making the ribbons themselves. I completely understand why Karen felt like writing the paper was a chore when so much of her free time was being spent working on it and she felt like she had to do it. I get that way about my blog and my knitting sometimes, and I'm a grown adult!
As far as the subplot about Andrew not wanting to switch preschools, I can't believe Karen was the only one who thought he should visit the new school. I have to believe that Lisa was already planning that, but let Karen think it was her idea. And since the books are from Karen's perspective, we weren't told that Lisa already thought of that.

But don't you know, Karen is smarter than the results.
