Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls by Ann M. Martin

2.0

I know this is an older book and we've come a long way since it was written.

But.

Can. We. Stop. Telling. Girls. That. Boys. Are. Mean. Because. They. Like. Them.

This is a gross and abusive idea to continue to perpetuate. It needs to stop. I am raising two little boys. My 2nd grader had his first crush this year and you know what I told him?

To make sure to include her in all his games at school and to notice and say nice things about her. I told him the absolute worst thing he could do would be to pick on her, tease her, or in any way be physical towards her.

Common fucking sense people. I love, love, love this series...but I'm pretty damn disappointed in this particular book.
