Sigh! A precocious privileged judgemental child who sneaks around and spies on people learns nothing when she, inadvertently, hurts her friends feelings. Paparazzi in training?

Sigh! indeed. Where are the wholesome, noble characters in children’s literature?
You are lucky you don’t have to deal with parents more than you do, Travis! They can be so dumb!
Got one! (I’m embarrassingly bad at these.)
I wish I had written this exact review for The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. I could not get into that book & really wanted to see her suffer more!! Isn’t it funny how passionately you can hate a book when you do not sympathize with the main character. Ditto for me & Wringer by Jerry Spinelli.
Ha! Yes, I think we’ve all been there at one time or another
