Stacey's Choice

Normally I'm not the world's biggest fan of Stacey, but in this book I liked her a lot. Stacey is in a bind; she feels if she decides to stay home and take care of her mother who has pnuemonia, she will disappoint her father, who invited her to a very important company dinner. She tries to do both, and even though it kind of fails, I feel she acted very responsibly. The book itself is one of the most realistic BSC books. It focuses on some common problems for "divorced kids" and mostly highlights the fact that they constantly are choosing between their parents. The sideplot is also great, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot. It's pretty funny, actually, and in a way is kind of like comic relief. The book is great and realistic. You will not be disappointed.

Stacey's parents are depending on her again! It's either she stays in Stoneybrook to take care of her mom with a desease or she will go to New York to celebrate his father's promotion job.

Stacey has a choice. 1. She will go to New York and celebrate his father's promotion day, 2. She will stay in Stoneybrook and take care of her mother with a disease.

stacey has to choose between attending a promotion dinner for her dad in new york and staying home in stoneybrook with her mother who had pneumonia in this book. Stacey felt like she had to choose between her parents, and I know how she feels because my own parents are divorced too though just half an hour away from one another. Stacey seems a little too mature for thirteen in this book, it showed her maturity in handling the situation and standing up to her dad when she decided to go for the dinner but not stay the whole weekend. I guess being a single child and parents splitting up makes one grow up way too fast at times, it was a great read. I enjoyed reading about the shopping trip with the BSC at the beginning of the book too when stacey was choosing an outfit for the dinner.

I loved this book! It really focused on Stacey's problem with her parents divorce. She feels she has to be with each one all the time. She ends up running around and ending plans early not to hurt her parents feelings. A good book for a Baby-Sitters Club fan!
