Just checked this one out of the library and finished it in about 20 minutes. Did anyone else want to slap Nancy for bitching about her invitation not arriving on time? I mean, geez she was still invited. It's not like they were checking invites at the door. And Pamela Harding just plain ticked me off. "I must sleep in a bed!" "I can't eat pizza! Make me something else!" Had she been a guest at MY sleepover, beyotch would have been thrown out the door on her rear.

This is one of my faves, but OMG, Nancy annoyed the heck out of me. She's Karen's best friend, did she really think Karen would invite everyone in the class and leave her out? Did she really need a pretty piece of paper to make it official? (I guess I can see how that matters when you're seven, but...)
Pamela was such a loser at the sleepover! I don't know how she was still so popular with the girls in the class after being such a bore and a pain at a party they were all at.

Pamela and Nancy both bothered me in this book as well.
One thing that amussed me was how staying up till midnight was such a big deal. I guess it is when you are seven. Although in all actuality it is a big deal for me now on the weekdays...

I never go to bed before midnight anymore, but it totally would have been a big deal for me when I was seven.
The Wizard of Oz, however, is not a scary movie. Although Return to Oz is.

^ditto. When i was a kid, I seriously was fine with going to bed at like 8am. This book sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if I've ever actually read it.

Assuming you mean 8pm although I was pulling all-nighters and sleeping through midday as a kid (my natural rhythm, it appears, as I still have trouble keeping to a normal cycle) I was also an early riser. Which...it makes sense that you'd get up at 6:30 if you went to bed at eight, darn it! Besides, Saturdays were time for the good cartoons.

haha I totally meant 8pm. lol. My mom has told me about how she'd pick me up from the babysitters after school around 5:30ish and we'd go home and eat dinner at 6:30 and then I'd be ready for bed like an hour later and she never saw me! I bet my mom loved me as a child, haha.

My mom liked having me for a child as well - I was always happy to go play by myself in my room

I was a lot easier to handle once I turned three, because that was when I taught myself to read. Before that, not so well-behaved. But hey, who is? They don't call them the "terrible twos" for nothing.

Know what creeps me out a little each time I read this book? When Pamela arrives at the big house, Sam sees her and whispers in Karen's ear that she's (meaning Karen) a dork. Um, is Sam checking out a seven year old and think she's hot?!?

...I never thought of it like that before. But then, we all know that Sam likes younger women...
