Anyway she starts looking through photo albums and there aren't any baby pictures of her. Then she does lots of very extreme things. Find out what I mean by reading Claudia and the Great Search .

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Claudia and Great Search (Baby-Sitters Club, 33) (Paperback)

In this BSC book, Claudia can hardly find ANY baby photos of herself, only Janine the Genius, so she assumes that she was adopted like Emily Michelle, Kristy's adopted sister from Vietnam. In the book, she tutors Emily, teaching her how to match and teaching her her colors. You see, Emily is 21/2, and she heard nothing but Vietnamese for two years. The pediatrician says she is "language-delayed," which means she isn't getting far on her English. In the end, Mrs. Kishi said that most people are awed with their first baby, this human they've created. She said they had more photos of Janine because she was their first child, but Mimi, who if you are a huge fan of the books like I am, you probably know she died in book #26, looked exactly like Claudia back when she was 12. You have to read this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Claudia searches for her real family., May 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Claudia and the Great Search (Baby-Sitters Club) (Paperback)

Thirteen-year-old Claudia Kishi suspects she was adopted when, while looking through picture albums, she finds no baby pictures of herself -- and while looking for more albums, a large locked box that she is sure contains her adoption papers. Claudia searches the magazines and newspapers in search of her real parents.
