Jessi and the Superbrat

The Baby-Sitters Club, Book 27

By: Ann M. Martin

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin

Stoneybrook has gone star-crazy! Derek Masters, an eight-year-old regular on a hit TV sitcom, has moved to town. Everyone's wondering what a real-live TV star will be like - will he drive to school in a limo?

Jessi can't believe it, but even stars need baby-sitters, and she's the lucky club member to watch Derek Masters. Even though a lot of kids at school call Derek a spoiled brat, Jessi likes him immediately.

He rides bikes and eats junk food like a normal kid, but he has exciting stories about Hollywood, too!

Pretty soon baby-sitting and ballet are starting to look kind of boring next to TV scripts and cameras. Maybe Jessi would like to be a star, too!

He's not that much a superbrat.

4 out of 5 Superstars

I really liked this one. Jessi was the perfect babysitter for Derek because she could relate to him the most as a ballerina. There's a relation between going on auditions for a ballet, an acting gig, or even modeling. So that was good to see, the nerves and uncertainly of it all.

Also good to see the way people act when the are either starstruck by or jealous of someone who is famous, and how they effects the famous person who just wants to have a normal day.

Lastly, it funny to hear how the different narrators do Claudia's voice. Bahni Turpin makes her sound normal. The narrator for Kristy, Brittany Pressley, makes Claudia sound like an airhead.
Maybe that just reflects how each character sees Claudia.
