Don't you think someone might have cheated off Janine at some point?

I loved the bonding between the sisters in this one! Shawna seemed like another one to add to the inconsistent character list though!

odd that there's more than one male teacher with a Z last name.

Don't you think someone might have cheated off Janine at some point? Since everyone knew of her genius status, I wouldn't be surprised.

There's a Mr. Zorzi. And I had a Mr. Zerone for math one year!

Really, I find it unbelievably stupid that Shawna can just say "I wouldn't cheat" and that automatically means to Mr Zorzi that Claudia copied her. Didn't they say 'innocent until proven guilty' later in the book? And just because Claudia is more likely to get a lower mark does not mean that she is the definite culprit. And wow, Janine is the only fair person in this book...apart from most of the club. Even Claudia's PARENTS think she's cheated. And why the HELL didn't they give Claudia a fair trial until Janine asked for it? Shouldn't they have just made Shawna and Claudia do the test again anyway? It's not fair to give anyone an F without any proof. Ugh...this book made everyone except Janine and the club dim or unfair.

Too much of the Pike kids in this book. But I do love Claudia's antics.

Claudia (nice to see her trying and succeeding and then, believably, being discouraged) and Janine were both really well written. Mary Anne saying Claudia might have cheated (let alone that "you should confess") was pretty unfriendly but Claudia had put in so little effort for so long (I suspect MA is a teacher-to-be and would thus be very annoyed with her chronic misspelling) that, coupled with her not really defending herself to the teacher or her parents (and turning down her parents' help) it was hard to fault MA or the parents for being doubtful. I liked the unexpected simplicity of the resolution, with the protagonists not finding/being able to use incriminating evidence. It sort of really was the perfect crime until Janine, using her reputation and acting on her own, explained the studying to the school and the teacher almost agreed he had been unfair and, as he should have done initially, had a re-test.

I must be a bad seed because I don't think cheating is that scandalous. Haha. If I was Shawna I would have probably just re-taken the test and then continued to play dumb when I bombed out on it.

Claudia doesn't have a learning disability . She's just lazy -she's said a number of times she's not crazy about school do she doesn't try . It's just laziness. But still Zrzi didn't have any evidence that she cheated. He actually took Shawnas word over Claudia's and he doesn't know either of them because he's a substitute .

Another awesome outfit from Claudia. French Claudia was what Connecticut Claudia strived to be. Mr. Zizmore looks like one of those teachers who hates kids.

I like how the cover shows the exam and cheating. With how close the students are sitting, I can see how Shawna cheated off Claudia.

What is the map on the wall referencing? It could be population, but Florida would be darker. I don't know what else those states would share that Florida wouldn't also have.
