4.0 out of 5 stars This book brings reality and imagination., January 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street (The Baby-Sitters Club #49) (Paperback)

Claudia and the Genius of Elm street is a good book. This book is very realistic but also very unreal. The book is about when Claudia Kishi, vice president of the BSC gets a normal time baby-sitting job with a new client named Rosie Wilder. Rosie isn't just any organiary or everyday kid, she's a genius, just like Claudia's sister Janine. She's also been on TV lots of time and is practicly a star. Rosie makes Claudia feel small, but it wasn't long until Claudia realizes that what Rosie really need is a true, good, friend -- like Claudia. Will Rosie accept Claudia as her friend? Read the book and find out! This book brings reality because everyone in Claudia's shoes would feel small if a young girl who is years younger than you and knows stuff about five times as much as you do. But it is also very unreal because there aren't that much kids that are geniuses, smart, into show business, and quite a star all at the same time. However, this is a good book.

This review is from: Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street (Baby-Sitters Club) (Library Binding)

This book was good, but it is fiction. The characters think up ideas too quickly, and espiecially Claudia being the dumb one. Overall, this book was pretty good, and I ejoy reading Ann Martin's Babysittters Club
