Sad yet encouraging！A very moving and understandable story of misunderstandings and lost communication。 Louie is so adorable and it really shows how endings can be beginnings。 Chickenpox sucks and it really shows the benefits of reverse psychology。

Definitely sobbed near the end of this one。 Trigger warning: pet death。This is the first of my bsc reread that I read in physical form and I think it was one of the first publications。 I loved the pictures and the member's handwritten entries。 I still remember each member's handwriting :） Definitely sobbed near the end of this one。 Trigger warning: pet death。This is the first of my bsc reread that I read in physical form and I think it was one of the first publications。 I loved the pictures and the member's handwritten entries。 I still remember each member's handwriting :） 。。。more

collie）’s paws are cold。 Then her brother David Michael calls attention to how Louie is limping。 Kristy’s bus is late and while she’s waiting 3 private school girls come up to her and ask her if one

morning she has her first encounter with the snobs。 When she wakes up， she notices that Louie （their old collie）’s paws are cold。 Then her brother David Michael calls attention to how Louie is limping。 Kristy’s bus is late and while she’s waiting 3 private school girls come up to her and ask her if one of Mr。 Brewer’s new kids and the one sending out the flyers。 Then they condescending tell her outfit is “cute”。 Kristy in return tells them they look like snob clones。 If this was written in 2021， I bet they’d all have fake body parts。 Kristy gets a job from clients in her new neighborhood -the Papadakis who have 3 kids （Linny 8， Hannie， 6 and Sari 2）。 Louie accidentally walks into a table so Charlie， David Michael， and Kristy take him to the vet。 The vet tells them Louie’s eyesight is deteriorating and he has arthritis。 She gives him some pills but basically says he doesn’t have long。 Kristy and Charlie pick up on this。 David Michael is oblivious。 Kristy takes him for a short walk like the vet instructed and runs into one of the blonds and a little blond out walking their well-groomed pets。 The older girl says her name is Shannon and the younger girl’s name is Amanda。 Shannon then insults Louie and says he smells。 Kristy calls her a snob and Shannon calls her a jerk。 （Louie should have been promptly peed on Shannon’s shoe）。 The Papadakis kids want to put on a pet fashion show for Myrtle （turtle） and Noodle （poodle）。 Kristy finds out that Shannon sometimes sits them and she has two sisters Tiffany （who’s outside） and Maria。 The kids seem to like Shannon but not Amanda and her brother Max。 Shannon calls Kristy and fakes her out with a fire， and Kristy gets back at her by having a diaper service deliver to her house for two weeks。 Maryanne throws Gabbie a tea party because Jamie upset her because she and Myriah are more involved with getting ready for their sister than he was with Lucy。 Kristy sits for Amanda and Max and they boss her around like she’s the maid。 David Michael comes over with Louie and says he’s not well。 The Delany’s make fun of him and Kristy sends him home。 Then Shannon calls and says she’s at the Papadakis’s and Sari won’t stop crying but when Kristy gets there it’s another prank。 Shannon then “thanks” her for pushing her out of her sitting jobs。 Dawn’s brother Jeff has been homesick for California。 While she’s sitting him， Jeff accidentally spills his dinner and then goes off on Dawn telling her they treat him like a baby。 The only one who doesn’t is his Dad and he hates it here。 Mrs。 Schaffer later has a talk with his Dad， but Dawn can’t hear what’s being said。 Why is she dating Trip （forgot about him）？ I thought she was at this point dating Richard。 Dawn breaks down at the meeting because her Dad didn’t sound excited to take Jeff （they convince her he was just taken off guard）。 Kristy breaks down because when called to eat Louie can hardly stand and then has an accident。 Stacey has to sit for Delany’s and because they’re contrary and want to do the opposite of what u ask them to， she agreed with them， in turn making them do what you wanted them to do in the first place。 Then she teaches them a game called Snail （similar to hopscotch）。 While watching the Delany’s， Kristy gets a pizza delivery but sends it over to Shannon。 Shannon and Tiffany show up and threaten to throw it in Kristy’s face。 Kristy then tells them she’ll throw it in Astrid’s face （their dog） and he’ll be pepperoni-mounted and for some reason， this makes them all laugh。 They all have pizza and Shannon asks Kristy about the BSC。 Kristy is impressed that Shannon doesn’t play when Max tries her。 Claudia and Mallory babysit all the Pikes who have chickenpox and run things back and forth all night demanding this and that while ringing bells and triangles。 Louie falls down the basement steps and as a last resort the Dr。 suggests injections two times daily。 Louie then loses control of his back legs and drags himself into a table leg。 Then the stove。 So the Dr。 says they’ll have to put Louie down。 David Michael spends the night with Louie in the family room on his last night。 Kristy， David， Mrs。 Brewer， and Watson take him the next day。 Then they throw him a funeral。 Shannon， Tiffany， Hannie， Linny， Amanda， and Max show up。 Shannon tells Kristy she’s sorry Louie died。 Shannon offers Kristy one of Astrid’s puppies and David Michael accepts the puppy but says she’ll never be Louie。 The BSC invite Shannon （the person） to be a member and she says she’s too busy。 So they invite her instead to be an associate member。 My Thoughts: Umm。。。 Why do the Pikes only have one “portable” television with EIGHT KIDS？ What does Mr。 Pike do again？ I know。 I know。 Eight Kids。 Priorities。 But surely， he can get a couple for each gender’s room。 Shannon and Kristy’s prank war was CHILDISH！ I blame Shannon。 I thought she was supposed to be the “mature， sophisticated” one。 The Pizza one was pretty harmless， but the fire one。 What if one of the kids in the rush to get out the house would have tripped， fell， and hurt themselves？ What if something would have gotten knocked over or broken in a rush to get outside？ So many things could have gone wrong。 What if KRISTY would have called the fire department herself and then when they got there *NOTHING*。 Then she would have had to look crazy and when it hit her that it was a prank she would have had to explain to them why they wasted their time coming out。 And I was the fireman （woman） I would have been pissed。 The most touching thing tho was about Louie， And I’m not even an animal lover。 How freaky is it that my mom had 2 collies that looked just like Louie and I think one of em （either Chico or Rico） had to be put down for arthritis？ I felt GUTTED for Louie because since November I’ve had a form of arthritis （bursitis） and let me tell you。 IT IS NO JOKE！ TALK ABOUT PAIN！ But Louie must have been in BAD SHAPE because I got an injection and just one worked for me。 And my eye-sight also isn’t the greatest so I sympathize。 Louie just held a soft spot with me for some reason。 He reminded me of this old， dog， that used to hang around my grandparent’s house that saved my life by jumping in front of some vicious dogs that sneak around the side of the house and were about to jump at me。 RIP LOUIE！ You’ve probably by this point made good friends with our dogs Chico， and Rico。 Oh， and I looked up the song “Brother Louie” sounded NOTHING like I thought it would。 Rating: 7 。。。more

One of my favorite babysitters club books so far！ Kristy's personality really came off of the page with this one and I enjoyed how the "snobs" ended up growing as characters and became fleshed out people。 One of my favorite babysitters club books so far！ Kristy's personality really came off of the page with this one and I enjoyed how the "snobs" ended up growing as characters and became fleshed out people。 。。。more

This book relly hit the heartstrings。 It's about a girl trying to make friends in her new neighborhood， which is in a rich community。 Also， she deals with her old dog Louie getting sick。 What really stood out for me was that the dog， like mine who passed away 8 months ago， had arrthritis， he was losing his sight and every time he tried to move made me cry。 Very very emotional book， but I loved reading it！！ This book relly hit the heartstrings。 It's about a girl trying to make friends in her new neighborhood， which is in a rich community。 Also， she deals with her old dog Louie getting sick。 What really stood out for me was that the dog， like mine who passed away 8 months ago， had arrthritis， he was losing his sight and every time he tried to move made me cry。 Very very emotional book， but I loved reading it！！ 。。。more

The secondary plot of this book is that Kristy's dog is old and in pain and must be euthanized。 I really appreciate the frank way this book deals with the issue。 I spent the last fourth of it in tears as I was reading it aloud。 Martin does such a good job of illuminating the emotional interior of children and of writing about important topics like divorce and pet death in an accessible way。 The secondary plot of this book is that Kristy's dog is old and in pain and must be euthanized。 I really appreciate the frank way this book deals with the issue。 I spent the last fourth of it in tears as I was reading it aloud。 Martin does such a good job of illuminating the emotional interior of children and of writing about important topics like divorce and pet death in an accessible way。 。。。more

Kristy meets her neighbor Shannon who is a snob！！！ Shannon plays rude pranks on Kristy while she babysits。 Meanwhile， Kristys beloved dog， Louie is not doing well。 This book was a typical Babysitters club book but there was one chapter with Stacey babysitting for the bratty Delaneys that made me giggle this raising it an extra star。

This was the 11th book in the babysitters club series。 And it definitely didn’t disappoint。Kristy has moved into a new neighborhood and is finding it hard to make friends。 The people she comes across are very snobby （they all live in mansions） and like to point out how much better they are than her。 With a couple of pranks that go too far， some drama and also the illness of Kristys dog Louie。 It was a sad book。 This is the third book recently that’s made me cry！
