That's So Raven #1
What You See is What You Get
Oh no Raven's vision reveals her partner for an upcoming science project will be Ben Sturky, a.k.a. Stinky Sturky. But wait . . . another vision shows the new team getting an A on the project. Will Raven be able to stick out the stench for the grade, or will she crumble under the power of second-hand stink? Plus, the new boy Chelsea has a crush on is super-fly. There's just one problem: he has the same name as-her dog

(My new reading plan is to spend equal time every day reading books in three categories:
1. My monthly theme, which happens to be Anne McCaffrey this month, and will be C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien in August;
2. Books from the library, whether print or e-books, and...
3. Books from my own collection, so I can clear out my own shelves a bit.
When I have more time to read--like I do today--I'll start out my daily reading of my own books with a short one, such as a Wishbone novel, a comic book, or a Disney Channel novelization. It's reminiscent of the days when they showed short films before the feature presentation.)
While Lizzie McGuire may have been my introduction to Mouse network sitcoms, it was Raven that kept me interested. It was much funnier, and was more in the style of the situation comedies I was used to: a laugh track, not so much drama, and no animated alter egos. Thanks to Disney Plus, I now have all of the episodes of that old favorite at my disposal...but, I don't want to be a couch potato; my friends all know I spent way too much time staring at a television screen throughout my school years. So, I decided to read Raven instead...and I was glad I did! Extra details were added, such as explaining Chelsea's absence in the first episode. Those who never cared for the show won't like this, but, for fans like me, this is a treat. I'm glad my local thrift stores supplied me with several of these books.

Oh, this takes me back. Been feeling nostalgic, and found this at a rummage sale not long ago. This was one of the shows I watched as a teenager, and unlike the last book I just reviewed, this one didn't have cheesy lines.
Part one:
Kinda funny. Ben Sturky is apparently not much of a bather, so when Raven has a vision of him hugging her, she freaks. She also has a vision about him becoming her partner in a science project. Try as she might, not even asking Head Cold Kenny to step in and be Ben's partner for the project (because he's always sick and can't smell anything) works out for her. Head Cold Kenny's mother pulls him out of school, so Raven goes to the science teacher to complain until she gets a vision of Ben and her getting an A on their project. It's all Raven can do to get Ben smelling better with out him knowing, and the attempts are kind of comical.
Part two:
Cute story. Funny at times. Part one was funnier. Raven has her eye on a guy, and Chelsea has hers on another. The guy Chelsea likes is found to have the same name as her dog. Raven eventually hears her brother Cory calling himself "Doctor Love," and this gives Raven the idea to come up with a nickname for Chelsea' interest, Sam. They end up going undercover as guys in the locker room and in the gymnasium while Sam and his basketball teammates practice. Raven tries to make her idea work.
Well, that was definitely a nostalgic walk down memory lane.

Two stories direct from two episodes. Raven had such strong stories that it really translated well in books.

this is it exactly because many people think that if they fail once
in life they think that their life will then adapt that style of living
that it will get used that it was born to fail meanwhile its not
lie that just that we see people fail in life and maybe it also happen to
us we then think that we will be like them too.That really happens because we
believe that we are going to fail for the rest of our life because it then
become personal and end up failing yourself which is where failure begins.
