Kristy and the Sister War (from what I can recall...haven't read it in a long time, but remember liking it quite a bit!)
1. The beginning sounds lovely/relaxing, it's autumn and Kristy is outside when Shannon comes by walking Astrid I think? 2. The mention of snickerdoodles (Shannon's favorite cookie) always makes me want some 3. The Claudia/Kristy stuff is great, and I love the descriptions of what they wear on their double date
Next book: Claudia Makes Up Her Mind

Thanks for starting this up again, Boo Boo. I had forgotten we had this thread and will have to go back and read some and look if we also have a similar LS one as I am about to reread all of those books. I have not read Claudia Makes Up Her Mind in ages and don't remember especially liking it. I did some quick skimming to find: 1. On Page 11 I smiled to read about Claudia creatively coming up with orange-colored treats at the BSC meeting in keeping with her 7th grade class' orange color for the color war. "Marshmallow Jack O Lanterns, Orange Lollipops, and Doritos" are three of her selections. 2. A surprise visit from Peaches, Russ, and Lynn on page 99 was cool, too. 3. at the end on page 129 when Claud reveals her decision to transfer back into 8th grade, her dad says he and Rioko have no doubt she will "do it well." I often think of Rioko and John as more distant and a little cold, too, so it was great to see his support and how that touched Claudia. Next Book: The Secret Life of Mary Anne Spier

The Secret Life of Mary Anne Spier 1. All the presents that Mary Anne bought for her friends and family were fun to read about. 2. All of the decorative wrapping and ribbon were also fun. 3. Mary Anne running into Santa aka Marv when she was at the mall, causing Dawn and Logan to wonder how she knows him is a funny little scene! Next: Jessi's Big Break
