Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls by Ann M. Martin
4.0
Reread for #BSC #bookaday 6/13/2011
All of the girls in the baby-sitters club are readers! Within this book, there are shout-outs to Nancy Drew, Ramona Quimby and The Secret Garden! And in the first book it mentioned Peter Rabbit and Where the Wild Things are. Stuff like this makes me so happy.
I also liked how the book deals with a struggling student. Claudia has a high IQ, but struggles in school. Another way that Ann M. Martin makes sure that every reader will see a reflection of themselves in one of the characters.
There was also a quote that I LOVED in the book (as a teacher):
"If they're discussion questions, why aren't we discussing them? How come Mr. Miller is making us write them down?" What a great point?! And this was 1986- some teachers need to learn from Claudia and Ann M. Martin
