Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

After all, one book review isn’t a huge deal, right? On the other hand, it’s officially after 7:30–after a day of the regional history fair, PTA texts, and cleaning–and my level of coherence is questionable at best. Unfortunately, given that my 11-year-old actually saw Besties: Prank War sitting by my computer, waiting to be reviewed, she might die if I don’t get that done posthaste.

Or something.

Anyway. The history fair was pretty chill for me, honestly–I chatted with other parents from my daughter’s class and she hung with friends, once we managed to park and find the exhibit room–and my oldest picked up the board and paper on her way home (so to speak) from work, which was a definite relief. I had time to clean up my living room considerably, which was overdue, and my fabulous hubby took our youngest to dance, which meant I still got in my walk before it got dark. As for Prank War…

Here’s the thing. Trent and Sawyer (the focus of this ‘From the world of Click‘ novel) have a solid, we-wrangle-but-we’re-tight friendship that’s nice to see, and Nat stayed true to character. I just hated that she got away with more than she should have, while Trent and Sawyer got stuck with more consequences than they deserved. The fact that she rallied so many people to her at one point was a stretch for me–Trent and Sawyer are considerably more likeable than she is–but I believe her creator mentioned that she’s based on someone from her own school years, so there’s that. I’m curious to see what my youngest thinks of it, but it isn’t my favorite of the series.

Speaking of my youngest, it’s 7:54 and she’s still not home from dance. Wish us luck tomorrow…
