librarianryan 's review for:

3.0

From the moment I picked up this book something felt off. Turns out book five was not illustrated by Telgemeier. Gale Galligan does a similar style to Raina, but it feels older. That is appropriate as the BSC grows older. But the storyline also grows older. This one I feel covers a much weightier topic, but without the finesse as previous volumes. Dawn has been baby sitting over and over and over again for one family. And it’s not just babysitting, but cleaning, and acting like mom. But without all the knowledge of mom. This storyline is heavy and it brooches an important topic in today's culture, but I feel that the parental child snatching was too glossed over. And this volume also fells its age. These books were written when cell phones were not common, and now… its hard to explain. It will make more sense when you read it yourself.
