Fall of 9th repeat
Plot
Claudia is back in 8th grade, but she is still dating her boyfriend, Josh, who is in 7th grade. She is trying to figure out how to manage her time between homework, babysitting, her 7th grade friends, her 8th grade friends, her boyfriend and her family, especially Janine who has become kind of clingy since breaking up with her boyfriend.
Her parents take a four day trip and leave the girls home by themselves. Claudia decides a party with all her friends would be the best way to get them to hang out, and Janine agrees to it. However, it gets out of hand. Everyone seemed to invite extra friends, and soon the house is packed and a vase gets broken. Of course, that's the moment her Aunt Peaches stops by and makes everyone leave and says she is telling on them. But the girls tell their parents first, and they really aren't that mad. And the party ends up being a success, because all her friends, regardless of grade, already have made plans to hang out the following weekend.
Subplot is that Melody and Bill Korman are fighting and of course the BSC solves it and makes them get along.
Takeaways
This is literally the only time I can remember the BSC being nice to non-BSC members, especially girls.
I kind of thought the Kormans were being dicks to Bill and treating Melody like a princess but I guess that never really mattered.
Mallory is a huge whine tit in this book about still being called Spaz Girl. And of course she is the one who broke the vase.
Best Character
It's a tie between Claudia and Janine - Claudia is trying to hard to please everyone, and Janine is trying so hard to be cool.
Worst Character
Like, I know Peaches had to be mature and responsible and tell on the girls, but she was kind of a bitch about it. So I'm glad the girls told their parents first. But Peaches wins worst character fo sho.
