This book dealt with some harder issues like hard friendship dymancis, loss of a pet and this book also tackled moving into a new location and the drama that came with it!! I also really liked the babysitting elements that came into focus in this read, I am loving expericencing this series though these graphic novels. I really love this reads!!! ( )

After her mom's re-marriage, Kristy Thomas now lives in a new neighborhood very unlike her old one. In this wealthier part of town, Kristy meets kids she considers "snobs." It's bad enough having to babysit little ones with bratty attitudes, but it's worse when girls around her age start pulling mean pranks. None of that compares to when the family dog Louie gets sick though...

This was another good addition to the ongoing series. I much preferred it to the previous title. There's yet another (fourth?) adaptor/illustrator, and I liked this person's style better. We also went back to seeing the BSC notebook and a couple of vignettes from the point-of-view of other sitters, even if Kristy was the overall protagonist of this particular title.

There is a sad storyline about an older pet getting ill, which will bring tears to your eyes. Unfortunately, this is something that a lot of kids have to deal with, so better they find it first in the pages of a book. ( )

Well, that left me pretty weepy. ( )

Oh, my, there is soooo much going on in this overstuffed outing: ailing pet Definitely needs an entry on doesthedogdie.com, mean girls, pranks, chicken pox, and spoiled brats. There are 40 different sitters, siblings, parents, neighbors and children in 158 comic book pages -- as many as a Marvel Comics superhero team book!

A couple chapters could have been left out or expanded into their own adaptations, and the ending works itself out a little too well, but I still enjoyed the whole thing and look forward to the next.

The new artist is pretty good at bringing their own flair to the Raina Telgemeier style that kicked off the series. ( )
