Thirteen-year old Claudia Kishi has a genius sister Janine. After Janine won her millionth reward Claudia starts thinking about how different she is from her family. 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 .

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!

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.

This is a good book. Claudia's genius sister, Janine has one yet another award and Claudia feels left out. She decides to cheer herself up by looking at old photos of her sister and her when they were young. Claudia finds tons of pictures of Janine when she was young, but almost none of her baby pictures, just some of Janine and her when she was a toddler. She tries to find more, and comes across a locked cashbox. Claudia thinks that she's been adopted, and that her papers are in there. Also, there are no baby announcements for her in the paper. To add to that, she doesn't even look like anyone in her family. Is Claudia really adopted?

I think this a very good book, but it is also kind of unrealistic. I mean, what are the chances of thinking that you're adopted just because...you're probably not following me right now, so read my review:
Claudia isn't like the rest of her family. They're all so smart, but Claudia never gets good grades. When Claudia discovers a mysterious box with a lock, which her parents never showed her, and photo albums without any of Claudia's baby pictures, Claudia is convinced that she's adopted. Claudia begins her search and won't let anything gets in her way. It's even worse when Claudia couldn't find her birth announcement in the newspaper! Oh, no! Can it be true? Claudia Kishi is adopted? Read the book and join Claudia in her exciting trip to search for her past!

it was nice getting a glimpse of claudia's detective and teaching skills and a sense of her fashion taste and how cool she is. This girl needed to realize that she was the bomb and the most exciting one in the family! And grades are nothing, there is more to life than school. You know how many things are not taught in school?

In this book, Claudia can't find her baby pictures of herself, Could Claudia have been adopted by the Kishis?

This book was very unrealistic. Just because Claud isn't exactly like her family, and not some genius like Janine, that is no reason to find out if she is adopted! That's plain dumb. Plus, this is Baby-Sitters Club we're talking about here. Though I am a huge fan, I know that the books almost always have a happy ending. Claudia, adopted? Yeah, right!

Whoever thinks babysitters club books Are good must be very illiterate
