How I Came To Read This Book: Back in the 90s/early millenium there was an excellent (imo) series of computer games for girls produced by Purple Moon. What was perhaps more remarkable than the games was the insane online community (and support) the games had - think of it as an early facebook/myspace. Anyway, they also had a ton of merchandise, including a line of books.
The Plot: Jessie finds a stray dog and brings him to school. Rockett wants to help but is distracted by her home life - which surprisingly Nicole relates to her on. However, once Nicole learns about the puppy, she blackmails Rockett from sharing the softer side of Nicole with anyone.
The Good or Bad: I think this is one of the last Rockett books written - and it wasn't good. I remember thinking the story had suddenly gone backwards in age demographics - or perhaps I was just getting older, but really the lost puppy storyline was really limiting in terms of including all the characters and having a more morally complex situation for Rockett.
Anything Memorable?: Fraid not. I think I bought all of these books at Chapters.
Bottom Line: A good, fun, young adult read.
50 Book Challenge?: Nope.
Retro Review: This Rockett's World book was a bit lame in the storyline department, but it was funny to see all of the characters reactions to the puppy and how they tried to keep it a secret. Nicoles drama queen sequence was unesscessary but interesting. I thought the fact you got to know more about Rockett's home life [or her sister Juno] was a fresh approach to the Rockett series. The storyline may've been a bit little kiddish but the book is not too bad.
