Katie's not going to let the boys get away with THIS one..

Katie Shannon is FURIOUS when she hears that the boys at Wacko have started a computer club- a BOYS ONLY club! Male-only clubs went out with the caveman, and katie's not about ready to be told she can't do anything. She wants to do something about it, get girls more involved and treated like the first class citizens they are. But none of the other girls care! I mean, she has to pull even the Fab Five's arms to get them interested in starting like, say an all girls club. Then Katie gets some unexpected help from a person of the past- can Katie really make a difference or is she doing all this in vain? This is the best book from Katie's POV. I think it's dumb that she gets so uptight about the guys getting together without the girls, but I also think it's dumb how the lives of the other girls revolve around their crushes and b/fs.

Not the best in series, but good

I absolutly love all the fabulous five books!! I am so sad they are out of print and I can't find them anywhere! :*( I think this was a good book, except Katie got to hyper when the boys started a club just for themselves. I don't see anything wrong with that, except that the girls all go crazy without any boys around!! That is totally dumb- you do not need boys to have fun.

Good example on how hard it is to be different

I liked Katie Shannon's attempts to raise awareness in Wakeman on how girls are still treated unfairly. I kind of thought it was a shame of how superficial many of the girls in this series were. I don't blame Katie for being disgusted at Alexis and Heather for being boy-obsessed. Tell me about it! What a shame that in order to form her all-girls' club, she had to stoop down to their level and reduce it to a makeup and clothes fest. But I guess many of these girls aren't as intelligent as the girls in the Baby-sitters' Club series.
