Apparently, at seven, the sheer ridiculousness of this book didn't sink in for me.<br />I haven't read it for years now, so I can't tell you whether I'll still enjoy it, but I do remember some of the ways the kids tried to raise money - Hailey being a fortune teller and scamming the obnoxious guys at SMS (AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-53346336993414145142010-01-19T21:16:19.750-05:002010-01-19T21:16:19.750-05:00i am 26 and think the pebbles outfit is cooli am 26 and think the pebbles outfit is coolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-80421698026244524632009-02-27T12:26:00.000-05:002009-02-27T12:26:00.000-05:00I just read this book two days ago.I too thought i...I just read this book two days ago.<BR/>I too thought it was sooo unrealistic. <BR/>Come on, no 13 year old is responsible enough to put together a fundraiser like that.<BR/>I also thought it was lame that they don't mention how much they made.<BR/>And the part where Dawn wonders if Kristy will take credit for the book, hahahaha!!!<BR/>These girls called each other best friends, but they secretlymariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311099990382284384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-6752107803282565362009-02-10T19:55:00.000-05:002009-02-10T19:55:00.000-05:00Lauren - I can see not having more than four teach...Lauren - I can see not having more than four teachers want to go to the sleepover.

It's great that Dawn wants to help out, but it goes a little too far. This book would make more sense if it were Mallory narrating, since she has somewhat more of personal attachment to the Zuni kids because of her siblings. <BR/><BR/>Anyway.
