Customer Reviews

Cool!

In this fantastic book, the Baby Sitters are all going to USA. Including Abby Stevenson, the alternate officer.

A Good Book

I really liked this book. It might have a been a tad bit unrealistic, but that's why it's fiction! The thing I liked best about this book is that Kristy sees someone very surprising at a ball game. (I won't spoil it for you.) Also, I thought Abby's scene at the Grand Canyon was very touching. One thing I didn't like about this book is that in Chapter Three, Jessi thinks Mallory is racist. HER BEST FRIEND! Oh, well. I never liked Jessi too much anyway. (Sorry.) And I'm so glad that Karen got to narrate a chapter in here. I may have outgrown the Baby-sitters Little Sister books, but I still like Karen. So, this was a pretty great book.

My Favorite Book as a Child

When I was young I used to love the Baby Sitters Club I read every book that I could get my hands on but Super Special #14 was by far my favorite because it was longer and it dealt with what the charactors were feeling more than the other books. Even at a young age these books really seemed to speak to me on a personal level I felt as though I knew these girls like they lived across the street or down the road that is how well you get to know these girls. Also it is not as though they never fight I mean the have arguements and get upset at each other but it always seems to work out for the better in the long run. I would recommend this to children everywhere there is zero language and this is just about friends becoming closer to each other. I hope that this review has helped you in making a decision about this book it is really good.

A really great book!

This is one of the best Baby-sitters Club Super Specials. Here's what happens:Dawn's dad decides to take her and brother, Jeff, on a cross-country RV trip. Watson (Kristy's stepdad) decides that that is cool, so he rents an RV. Both dads say that they'll let any members of the Baby-sitters Club that want to come along, come along.Watson's RV goes south, and Mr. Schafer's goes north. They both end up in California at Dawn's house. Here's their destinations:Kristy- all the major baseball parksMary Anne- to visit her grandma (sees her at Mall of America)Claudia- a museumStacey- to see Ethan in SeattleDawn- a ghost townMallory- ChinocteagueJessi- to see her grandparentsAbby- GracelandLike I said, this is a really great book!

Purpose

When Ms Martin started these books, her and her editor decided to leave the girls 13 and in the same grade forever. This is a series to read and enjoy, and not be so critical of. who cares how many vacations they go on. Kristy's step dad is rich. they can afford to go on vacation. just read the book, and quit being so judgemental. I started reading these when I was 9. I am now 22, and my 4 year old is getting into the Little sisters book. they are a good series along with the BSC club to read.
