Rating:  Summary: How much did I love this book? Review: ...so much that it fell apart since I read it so many times. (I was very upset when this happened.) Bart gets stuck at Kristy's, which makes her nervous; Mal and Mary Anne are stranded at the Pike's; Jessi and her New York boyfriend are at her ballet school; Dawn's at the airport; Claud's baby-sitting the Perkins girls and Stacey and her mother are trapped in the middle of nowhere. It's one of the best super specials, a must-read for any BSC fan.
Rating:  Summary: Blizzard Review: I would give this book 3 stars because there were seven different stories, each girl had a different story to tell about her life. So it was really hard to remember each girl's story. I think this book was too young for me because I would be able to tell you what was going to happen at the end of the chapter. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still liked how they left you hang at the end of the chapters. My book is about a town called Stoneybrook getting hit by a blizzard. The girls in the BSC (baby sitters club) think this is a joke because it hasn't snowed all winter. The school is having a winter wonderland dance, but the girls don't know if they are going to cancel the dance. The girls said how can they have a winter dance if is hot enough to go to the beach? The girls have no idea if the snow will clear up in time for the dance. To find out if they make it to the dance, read the book. I think people that like reading about baby sitters and other people's problems would like to read this book. I also think that a 10-year-old girl would like it because it is about seven girls lives.
Rating:  Summary: "All the Baby-sitters wanted was a little snow..." Review: In reaction to a blizzard that hits Stoneybrook, Connecticut, the seven BSC members--with the guidance of Kristy Thomas--decide to write about their separate blizzard experiences in a group article for 'The Stoneybrook News.' "Snowbound" is the result of that. During the blizzard, everyone gets stranded someplace overnight--Jessi Ramsey at her ballet school; Mallory Pike and Mary Anne Spier at Mal's house, while baby-sitting the Pike kids; Stacey McGill and her mother in their car alongside a deserted road; Kristy Thomas and her boyfriend, Bart, at her house; Claudia Kishi at the Perkinses' (her baby-sitting clients); and Dawn Schafer and her mother at the airport. While most of them are without power and the use of phones, they're relatively safe compared to Stacey, who is stranded in a car with no heat and gas--and no possible way of getting help if her diabetes gets out of hand. What I liked the most about "Snowbound"--as well as every other Super Special--is that the point of view changes with each new chapter. Plus the journal entries at the beginning of each chapter are a nice touch. This is a great Super Special addition to the Baby-sitters Club series. BSC fans should like this one, particularly 8 to 12-year-old readers who like snow adventures set during the winter holidays. If you've already read and enjoyed "Snowbound," then you'll probably like "Super Special #3: Baby-sitters' Winter Vacation" as well.
