I found this first middle grade march (2026) book endearing. Each character has such a special voice and personality; I loved them all. As a critical reader, was this book about very privileged children and their first world problems? Yes. Was there some commentary from Claudia that hasn’t/won’t age well? Yes. Still, I think it was a fun, funny book that some children can relate to and many can love. 4.5🌟
