I like this book because it makes me laugh and I love how this book contributes to a book I've read before: The Babysitters Club. It starts by one of the main characters in this book reads The Babysitters Club and she wants to start one of her own. It goes through friendship and laughter. If you like humor, or The Babysitters Club you'll love this book.

I really loved this book because it really went in to detail to tell you what the children were feeling. This book made me feel both happy and sad at the same time and I'm sure if you read it you will love it like I did.
