Baby-sitter Blues

Ashley can't wait to go back to school. The new school year means shopping for new clothes, meeting boys...shopping for more new clothes! Her twin sister, Mary-Kate, thinks she's crazy. Mary-Kate would much rather hit a softball than hit the mega-mall. But they do agree on one thing:

They're way too old for a baby-sitter!

Too bad their dad doesn't see it the same way. Now the twins need a plan--a plan to show Dad just how right they are!

1.0 out of 5 stars Rating this Series overall, May 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: It's a Twin Thing (Two of a Kind, No. 1) (Paperback)

First of all this series sucks. I admit there are funny creative ideas but basically everything is about boyfriends, crushes, the in-crowd: your basic no-good literature. I can't believe anyone would rate these books 5 to 4 stars. I didn't learn anything from these books. It's nonsense. You can find so many other books that really have a point to them, a book you cant get out of and when you finish you're amazed. For instance: "Anna Sunday", "Walk Two Moons","Dragon's Gate", so on!....Its a waste of money to buy these.
