I've read since when I was in middle school and am just re reading it because, well, I'm in a reading slump in spite of the many books I have on my Kindle and Overdrive. I just needed a quick (and easy) book to read.
Anyway, this book made me cry. I've forgotten that this "episode" of the series dealt with death. I'm a grown woman reading a MG book from childhood and still made me cry. This is why I loved this series as a kid because it didn't shy away from tough issues like death, divorces, and serious illnesses.

Kristy and the Snobs reveals Ann M. Martin’s cynical view of her audience as being intolerant of ambiguity. The initial characterisation of the Snobs was heavy-handed, as was their eventual complete redemption. That said, the book holds up fine on its own terms. I suppose it is for children, after all.
This was probably one of my favorites of the series so far. I haven’t read any of the next 10-20 books before because I didn’t have copies of them growing up. In this chapter, we meet the Papadakises, the Delaneys (known as the Snobs at the beginning), and Shannon Kilbourne. We lose Louie, Kristy’s faithful collie, and I even teared up even though I have never had a dog. Mostly, I enjoyed the child psychology Stacey used to deal with the difficult babysittees. This book also teaches a great lesson on not judging others, with an enemy-turned-friend subplot with Kristy and Shannon.
Reread for #BSC #bookaday
I love when books show that a generalization that many have is not right.

Ughhh this book hurt me as a kid and it cuts just as deeply as an adult somehow
Childhood Trauma: BSC #11 "Kristy and the Snobs" - We judge books by their covers.
Lord. You'd think I'd be too old to cry over a BSC book but Louie got me.
Reading in chronological order (with the exception of The Kids in Mrs Colman's Class series).
An extra star for nostalgia. Loved this series as a kid and re-reading it is giving me all the warm and fuzzies.
