Claudia and the New Girl

ISBN 0590437216 - Tough one to review for me! I found myself a little bothered that the BSC was judgmental about the new girl, but Martin made an effort to resolve that, so I'll give it my usual BSC 5 stars, with the hope that the next "oddball" to enter Stoneybrook will be treated better. Claudia loves her art, and her friends, and she's never had to choose between them before. When new-girl Ashley arrives, Claudia's very impressed with her - she has multiple piercings in her ears, dresses very bohemian, and she went to the Keyes Art Society, an art school in Chicago! Not only that, but she think Claudia has real artistic talent, if only she'd spend more time on it. Like, ALL her time. Ashley begins to pull Claudia away from her friends and Claudia, flattered, allows it. The BSC is not happy with the traitor in their midst and lets her know it. Can Claudia manage to have her art, Ashley and the BSC, or will she be forced to give up something, or someone, she really cares about? Martin's BSC books always impress me with their ability to moralize without boring a reader to sleep, and Claudia and the New Girl pulls that off, as well. The girls realistically respond to the thought of Claudia ditching them for Ashley, which takes a few amusing, very pre-teen, turns - the notes they leave her are hilariously on-target! - AnnaLovesBooks

Claudia is a traitor!

She lives with her mom and brother Jeff. In this book, a new girl comes to their school, Ashley Wyeth. She wears clothes like Claudia. At art class, Claudia sees Ashley. There's going to be an art contest and Ashley's going to help Claudia enter.But then she keeps missing meetings to look at things to make for the contest with Ashley. Then Ashley sees her baby sitting and gets mad at her. I read this twice. I get it from the library.I don't know why Claudia liked Ashley. She didn't even let her go to the meetings, and she didn't want Claudia to be in the Baby Sitters Club. She only liked Claudia because she was good at art too. And she didn't want to be friends with anyone else. Will Claudia quit the club or will she stop going places with Ashley while her friends are having meetings? And what does she make for the art contest? Read this book to find out.

BSC vs. Claudia

claudia is being very stupid just forgetting her friends like that. Ashley has no sense of fashion and is making claudia lose the BSC. I am glad when they trash claudia's room. I am very gald when claudia decides to drop ashley and go back to the BSC.

Claudia`s true best friend`s are the members of the B.S.C.

That`s what Claudia finds out.Ashley Wyeth is the new girl in her school and Ashley likes art as much as Claudia,maybe a little more.Claudia grows to become best friends with Ashley.This reallt hurts Stacey and the B.S.C. beacuse she misses meetings and the menbers are putting mean notes all around her room and eating ALL of her junk food.Even Dawn is helping eat it.This book is good.It`s shows you who your true friends are
