"Working Girl" has always been my favorite episode of Lizzie McGuire, so, of course I would give this novelization high marks. The second episode is also great!

Vorige week was ik op een tweedehands boekenmarkt. Alle boeken waren een euro en de opbrengst ging naar het goede doel. En dus kocht ik een hele stapel boeken gebaseerd op tv series. Waaronder een stapeltje boeken over Lizzy McGuire.

Dit boek stelt uiteraard niet zo heel veel voor. Het is overduidelijk gewoon een uitgeschreven versie van twee afleveringen van de tv serie. Maar, ik heb hardop zitten grinniken en ik vond het met name ook erg leuk dat de getekende versie ook een duidelijke rol in het boek speelde! Lizzy is en blijft gewoon Lizzy en hoewel ze het allemaal heel goed bedoelt, pakken dingen zelden uit zoals ze dat gewild had. Op tv en op papier. Ik heb nu al in in de andere boeken!

The first part of this novel is based on episode 41 of the series, “Working Girl.” Lizzie can’t get a raise in her allowance so she gets a part-time job and finds out just how difficult the working world can be. Meanwhile Matt wants to talk to Lizzie about something but she’s too busy, so he turns to Miranda and ends up falling in love with her.

Which is not something the girl wants.

The second part is based on episode 7 of the series, “Misadventures in Baby-sitting”

Lizzie feels she’s grownup enough to babysit her younger brother in order to allow her parents to have a dinner out. They finally agree but her father is constantly worrying about what is happening at the home so he goes back to check up on her and starts a very, very funny series of events when he tries to get into his own home and Lizzie and the others think he’s some kind of crook.

One of the funniest stories so far.

A Fun and Nostalgic Read!

Lizzie McGuire On The Job by Leslie Goldman takes readers on a delightful trip down memory lane with two classic episodes featuring the beloved Lizzie McGuire. In the first episode, Lizzie lands a job at the Digital Bean, and in the second, she faces the hilarious challenge of babysitting her mischievous brother, Matt, while their parents enjoy a night out.

Both stories are full of the quirky humor and heart that made the Lizzie McGuire series so special. I loved how these episodes brought back so many nostalgic memories of the early 2000s, and they were just as fun to read as I remembered watching them. Whether you're a longtime fan of Lizzie or new to her world, this book offers a perfect blend of humor, relatable moments, and lighthearted fun. A quick and enjoyable read that will definitely make you smile!
