can you believe it? Everyone at SMS has to write an autobiography. So Stacey been looking through photo albums and trying to remember the past-the god and the bad. Like when she was 5 and got to be in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. And When she was 8 and Laine and she got in trouble. She has been writing about her diabetes, before the divorce, and even Stoneybrooke and the BSC. In fact, everything right up until this minute So this is her life-WELCOME TO IT!
the book is really great. You feel like you're there with stacey. My favourite stories are the ones where she was 8 and skipped dance classes, and the one where she was on the island. Her diabetes weren't talked about, because they were already talked about in the Baby Sitters Club super special #11, The Baby Sitters Remember. Stacey tells all about how she discovered she got diabetes, and all the trouble she went through in that time period. Also in book #51, Stacey's Ex Best Friend, Lanie and Stacey end their friendship, so if you're wondering why those weren't in this book, check those books out as well.
This is a must have for all Stacey fans. And (no offence to .com) but you could get this book a whole lot cheaper at your local bookstore. Anyway, I would recommend this book to any girl, that reads the BSC, under 11 years of age. (I read this book 2 years ago when I was 10.) -JCP
As part of an eighth-grade assignment, 13-year-old Stacey McGill chronicles twelve of her years growing up in New York City, starting with her birth, and including such events as her first day at kindergarten, where she makes friends with Laine Cummings, her best friend for several years (until she meets Claudia Kishi); being in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with Cinderella, her idol when she was five years old; ditching ballroom dance lessons with Laine at age eight, which gets them both in trouble; and vacationing with her parents for two weeks on a secluded island in Maine, where a 10-year-old culture-shocked Stacey reluctantly befriends the only other kid on Pine Island.Overall, this was a great first-person look at Stacey's life before she moved to Stoneybrook. However, there is quite a gap from when she lived in Stoneybrook to the point when she returned to NYC; so don't expect a very complete autobiography--it just covers the years that she was in NYC, prior to the Baby-sitters Club series starting. Still, fans of this series--and especially of Stacey--should like "Stacey's Book."
