77. Okay, is it just me, or do the girls book seem a lot more grounded in reality?
The girls have babysitting, fights with friends, bullies, speech making, dealing with sunburns, etc.
The boys have surviving shark attacks, polar bear attacks, parachute failure, lightning strikes, vampire attacks, zombie invasions. Okay, actually they both have zombie invasions for some strange reasons. But seems like the girls book are a lot more practical than the boys book. I don't know. The story itself I find annoying. Not a big fan of pulling books off shelves. |
