Claudia and the Bad Joke by Ann M. Martin

3.0

This book was pretty good and very realistic (kudos, AMM!) I did kind of hate that all the practical joking was just kids (and no grownups got involved---the Sobak parents were hardly in the story!) Also, I think that the pranking from Betsy was a little too much, especially because pranking was what got Claudia in the hospital in the first place.

But the hospital scenes were spot on---and while I've never broken a leg, I have broken a toe, so I definitely understand Claudia's restlessness...
