Meh. I finished it. I don't really need to listen/read any more from the series. It didn't leave me wanting more like the first book did.

Much Ado About Anne | Heather Vogel Frederick

A character asks "Mom, do you think I'm fat?". Mom says everyone is unique, you're beautiful blah blah blah. Yet in the previous book and in this one much ado is made about a character's size by kids and adults and body shaming is sprinkled throughout. Does the author not realize that girls get these ideas from some of the very things she's done? I'm going to hope that this gets addressed. Maybe I'm just rushing to judgment.

Clare-Dragonfly Maybe she learned after writing the previous books and is trying to combat some of her own damage? 4y

Sace @Clare-Dragonfly I'm hoping that's where it's going. The narrative has a lot of commentary about this character's body shape and it bothers me because we're talking 6th and 7th grade girls. Plus there's an adult character no one likes and her large frame is mentioned just as much as her cantankerous nature. This is a series though so there is room for this to become a story about not body shaming. 4y

I loved the 2nd book in this series just as much as the first. My daughter and I enjoyed reading this on yet another camping trip.
