Going back to my childhood and re-reading my BSC books. This one used to be a favorite of mine. The girls are so dramatic about the "phantom" but I'm sure I would have been scared like too at that age. Claudia was always one of my favorites and it was fun to take a trip down memory lane.

I mean, the best part about these books right now is the nostalgia and the 90s references. But I appreciated that efforts were made for Claudia's voice to be different than Kristy's in the first book. It was pretty yikes, though, what with the whole "he only teases you/makes you mad/stalks you/etc because he likes you" major plot point.

Ya me he acabado el segundo libro y no me avergüenzo al decir que este libro es mejor que el anterior. Espero que sigan llendo a mejor. :)

I’m continuing down the path of memory lane with completing book two of The Baby-sitters Club. While I enjoyed this one, I liked the first one better with the narration from Kristy. This book focuses on Claudia and I feel like younger me would have liked her, but now I feel like she’s trying too hard to be a grown-up and mature that she is coming up immature, plus her fashion choices sound horrendous. The phantom caller tie-in made it interesting. Would have liked to see more of that then the boy drama towards the end.

What a joy to witness the girls and their first crushes as well as some spooky times! Really enjoyed Claudia’s point of view in this book.

re-read 2020: I loved this series as a kid and the recent Netflix show reignited that love for me and made me need to read the books again

BSC re-read as a 32 year old #2...
Not my favourite instalment. I do enjoy Claudia's narration more than some of the other girls but the premise was just a bit bleh. The whole phantom caller is meant to be spooky but it just comes across as unrealistic and kind of cheesy.
