I finally read one of these to Alice and it is incredible. I really underestimated this series. It does an incredible job of explaining the subtle ins and outs of being a kid, social dynamics between friends, girls, kids and adults, in syntax that is exactly simple enough for kids to read. It's leveled perfectly for second graders, but with deceptively complex ideas. And it explores "being naughty" in a way that is healthy and not annoying for adults. This is the new Ramona, as far as I'm concerned.

I enjoyed this book far better than the first. There was more cleverness than I expected--I especially enjoyed the puns! I can tell my kids get excited during the more imaginative parts. I wasn't sure I wanted to continue this series after the first book, but this sequel has convinced me to give it another shot.

I laughed out loud the whole time. How funny this story with the ghost and the kids logic.
So relatable.
Fun, funny and engaging.

This one was laugh out loud funny at times and I enjoyed it more than the first. My daughter (age 6) loved it, too!

The eight year old loved this one as much as the first.
This adult co-reader is increasingly aware that these two girls have a lot of social capital and are actually pretty mean with it.
The author has a very good handle on how playground mythology can work.

I think I have fallen out of like for these books. The first one caught my attention and seemed better then this 2nd book. No huge complaints. I just feel there is better material out there for read aloud with my little girl.

As far as kids books go, these are pretty good. So many of the chapter books my daughter picks are poorly written. These are objectively pretty funny and well written. Plus they feature two girls who do actual things besides dressing up and having parties.
