I'm related to a real-life millionaire who adores Costco. Actually I know several millionaires who do. Good stuff. Their huge ficksticks are amazing.

"The kids get upset, Mallory feels both upset and guilty as she insists that they can let her stay with Jessi or leave her with a babysitter"

Mal has more sense than Jessi's parents. Mal suggests a babysitter for HERSELF since it'll be more than a few hours while Jessi's parents left her i charge on an 8-year-old and a toddler FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND.

"They browse through books and deny a potential elderly fan of gory horror from a novel with a woman clutching a bloody knife on the cover, deeming it ‘gross’ "

I've known many elderly people who adored the gory ones. ADORE THEM. It tends to be the fluffy romances with kitties, horses, and country houses that bore them. Geeze, let them have some thrill while they're stuck in a retirement home. Those places tend to suck.

Charlotte's suggestion of the Viewmaster is a sweet one because she was thinking about the residents instead of, "Ew, I don't like that cover. I like this one. So they should get what I like."

Yeah, Mal, you cheer that the kids i that book traded eating the carcass of a turkey for eating the carcass of whatever else is on that pizza.

It was a cheese pizza.

Well, it beats a veggie pizza.

Does it say Costco in the American edition? I only have the UK edition and it says 'Cost Club'. Different? Perhaps the editors not wanting to use a real place?

Cost Club. Just a generic store name. Costco was around back when this book was written, but wasn't so well known yet. So I guess they figured kids would know what Cost Club meant more. Plus "club" sounds "elite" or something.
