Status Updates From Paperback Crush: The Totall...

Starting to struggle getting through this one. Not exactly sure why.

Hey, Marissa and Violet were excellent counsellors! Their kids adored them, and as importantly, they tailored their activities to the individual kids’ likes - hikes and craft stuff for Marissa’s, makeup and hair for Vi’s. I am starting to suspect the author has not read a lot of these books. (I read this one last summer, not for the first time.)

I’m pretty sure Mary Anne and Too Many Boys was book #34, not #42. I really do have a weird memory. #42 was Jessi and the Dance School Phantom, which I liked because it was a) Jessi and b) longer than most of them (but sadly did not involve any ghosts).

The only books Ms Moss actually praises are “gritty” ones. I honestly don’t know why she didn’t just write about those.
