Claudia and Mean Janine by Ann M. Martin
4.0
I adore Babysitters Club, but I felt like it was more of a case of Mean Claudia rather than Janine. Luckily, the author led Claudia to the conclusion of how unkindly she was treating her sister. As a misunderstood genius like Janine, I empathized with her plight rather than siding with Claudia's indignation. I didn't care for the sibling bickering and the grandmother's stroke upset me, but I suppose whenever books get too real they cut deeper than they should for me. I prefer my fiction to be lofty and separate from my problems and get freaked out when they slightly boomerang back to me, even in small ways.
This was a fine addition to the series and I'm glad Claudia could see that she was part of the problem and apologized to her sister. I'm gonna lose it if I ever get to Claudia's Hard(?) Goodbye with the passing of her grandmother. Don't do this to me thirty years past publication, Ann M. Martin! Claudia Kishi wouldn't stand for this!
