This review is from: Karen's Roller Skates (Baby-Sitters Little Sister #2) (Paperback)

Karen fell and broke her wrist doing tricks on her new skates. She wanted a famous person to sign her cast so she would be more popular than her friend Ricky who also has a cast. She told stories that weren't true because she thought the real story would be too boring. I liked this book because I also broke my arm one time. I learned from this book that friends can help each other and that you don't have to lie to have friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karen's Roller Skates, April 17, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Karen's Roller Skates (Baby-Sitters Little Sister, 2) (Paperback)

I really like these books. I used to just get them from the library, but now I have bought some. In this book, Karen got new roller skates. She jumps over two cans, but then when she tries to turn around, she falls down and breaks her wrist. She has to go to the hospital and get a cast. Then, she sees Ricky there, and he broke his leg. In the rest of the book, Karen gets people to sign her cast, and the pets pawprints. This is a good book, but I think it wouldn't be very confusing (it isn't anyway) if you read the Baby Sitters Club series first.

This was my very first chapter book. I was 7 my mother had gotten it for me from a used book store, the pages were already perfectly worn. It was one of my favorite books mostly because I broke my right arm quite similarly to the way that Karen had broken hers. I remember the feeling of greatness accomplishing my first book, and then I turned around and read it 3 more times!!!!!!
