when Elton and “Maggie” bicker about sausage (yeah they do!) and Dawn figures out that Maggie is a nickname for Margaret.

I would expect that from Claudia, but really Dawn? You're 13 and you *just* got this?

Especially since one of Dawn's best friends in California is named Maggie!

Her deductive powers are even slower than you think, since it takes her a whole other chapter to come up with the second relevant fact about Maggie!

Georgio aside, Claudia's pretty sharp in this book. Not as sharp as Spooky, but no one is.

Two things legit freak me out about this book - 1) Georgio - what a creeper! I know we're supposed to be suspicious of him but he made me uncomfortable when I read this book as a kid. Why doesn't he have anything better to do than stalk Claudia and co.?

(Although, I would have LOVED to have seen his reaction when she tells him she's only 13 at the end!)

2) Dawn getting trapped in the dumbwaiter - hocrap, this freaked me out as a kid. I'm not claustrophobic, but the thought of getting trapped in a small, dark and potentially unsafe space without knowing how or when you can get out is terrifying to me.

Looking foward to the rest of your snark! Spooky is becoming one of my favourite characters, too! :D

Spooky is the best, I agree. <3 ( ... )
