Review Of The Book

Kaitlyn and I think Claudia is snobby, we think this because she is constantly correcting Jamie about his grammar. We thought it was funny when Jamie was pushing all of the buttons in the car. The most interesting part in our opinion is when they were sneaking around in the museum. The main part of the book was Jamie and Claudia running away and their adventures. I would recommend this book to a friend.
