3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Ending, October 10, 2011

This review is from: Robots Don't Catch Chicken Pox (The Bailey School Kids #42) (Paperback)

I have to agree with the other review that states the ending is BLAND (those are kind words). Ok, so you learn she is not a robot (I think) because she gets the chicken pox but nothing is done to explain Ms. Botts weird behavior, dress, gadgets etc. The ending is so non-climactic that it leads you to question even what one would think is most obvious, that she's NOT a robot because robots can't catch chicken pox. It "leaves you hanging" and rather disappointed. I find myself searching the web to see if I've missed something in the story line to explain the story. Having said that, I loved the rest of the book....it was interesting and kept you wanting to read the next chapter to find out what was going to happen. The 3 stars was for the great story minus the HORRIBLE ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best story in the entire Bailey School Kids series, October 31, 2006

This was the first Bailey School Kids book I ever read. So far I have read 3 Bailey School Kids books and this is my favorite one. I read it again and again. I highly recommend this book for Bailey School Kids fans.

There are weird grownups in Bailey City. But could the new drama teacher directing the class play really be a robot. The Bailey School Kids Are Going To Find Out!
