Claudia and the Bad Joke by Ann M. Martin
3.0
Even as a kid I couldn't stand Betsy Sobak in this book. I never understood, and still don't, why her mother didn't do something about her shitty child when Betsy caused Claudia to break her leg. It wasn't really a true accident, the kid set it up to happen, so somebody should have done SOMETHING. I mean besides the BSC taking the really mature route of getting int a prank war with a kid.
I genuinely felt for Claudia in this one though. She was just trying to be a good sitter and keep the kid from pulling prank after prank, and it landed her in actual traction. I wouldn't have blamed her for quitting the club if this is the kind of crap that's going to happen. Obviously all ended relatively well, but still. Somebody should have taken Betsy down a peg or ten in an actual appropriate way.
