One thing that seemed odd to me at first is how Dawn, the second-newest club resident of Stoneybrook (after Jessi), is the one who knows the legend of Old Man Hickory. It's the same in the original book, but there it's more established that Dawn loves ghost stories, so the readers can assume she'd been researching her new home.
Their Families:
Tigger and Mary Anne's dad being startled when she falls out of her bed after tossing the chain letter:
The Club (and clients):
Jacke Rodowsky spilling his mom's sewing supplies:
SMS:
Cokie and Grace in the cafeteria:
PSA Time:
Fabric scissors are SO SHARP. Don't leave them out in the open or where little kids can easily get to them, and keep them closed and sheathed when you're not using them. It almost looks like Jackie uses the same scissors to cut the cardboard as he's making his robot costume--don't use fabric scissors for non-fabric things as it will dull the blades. Finally, related to sewing, Dawn was absolutely right to vacuum after the sewing notions spill. Little sharp things like pins are easy to miss.
Misc:
Martin dedicates this book to Aunt Martha and to the memory of her Uncle Lyman.
Yuan Cheng dedicates it to "Mom, who provided my foundation in both teaching kids and creating art. For Patrick, who would play the spooky Halloween soundtrack CD to scare me when we were little. To all the friends I've shared my Halloween adventures with over the years, I've been thinking of you fondly."
