Claudia's Book

I liked this book, and I also liked the facts where Claudia stopped believing and stuff. What I'm unhappy about is that people think that if you believe then you are immature. I am twelve, and I STILL BELIEVE! Why is it that it is stupid to believe in magical things that make the world a happier place, but people have killed eachother over religion. I read sweet valley high aswell, and people say that I'm mature for my age, but I'm not even going to deny that I still believe in Santa! I think that you measure maturity on how they react in different situations, not if they have faith in make believe. but back to the book, I think it is a good, honest book about Claudia. But I just wanted to tell people that why not be a kid for as long as possible. I think its fake that people are trying to be older then they are, and thats what I found a bit sad about this book.

Personally, I thought this was a wonderful book. The reading level for the BSC is basically ages 11-14, so I don't know why a young child would be reading these books anyway! Keep in mind that some children may be too young for these books to begin with if they still believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa. These books are about young teenagers! Not little kids! If you're in the right age group for Claudia's Book read it! You'll love it! If you're still beliving in the Tooth Fairy and such, wait until you're older to read these and stick to Henry and Mudge or the Baby-sitters' Little Sister series, (Also by Ann M. Martin with a lot of the same chariters) aimed at young children ages 5-9. Chariters who still believe in all the things young kids need to believe in.

This book was...I dunno. I mean, it wasnt the best in my opinion, but I guess it was worth reading. You read about a lot of things that happened in Claudia's life (so far), and tells you about stuff that make up how Claudia is, like how she's artistic and doesn't do that well in school. That's all i have to say.
