I really liked the message of this one. Lots of great life lessons for kids and teens in it. I’m starting to like Kristy more as I read this series too. Not my favorite character, but definitely my favorite babysitter. The most level headed with kids and she solved the problem in this one.
I like the books that are really focused on the actual babysitting and this is a good example. Plus, Claudia's family is adorable.

Frankly, Ann was phoning it in at this point. Send in the ghostwriters.

4 stars. One of my least favorites in my re-read thus far. It felt like a filler book and I really, really didn't like the kid who did all the pranks in this. She was a serious pain in the ass. Poor Claudia. I still thought it was cute and fun but yeah, I didn't love it as much.
