"I'm so sad my dad can't come, I didn't even tell him about it. But I'll send him a copy of the program later." All that's going to do is make him feel worse, Dawn! And I bet that if she had mentioned it to him and he wasn't able to come (which is likely), he could have suggested something like taping it and watching it together the next time she's in California.SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-20377243575929592072011-07-20T04:31:41.477-07:002011-07-20T04:31:41.477-07:00I'm sorry if I came off as insensitive to Daw...I'm sorry if I came off as insensitive to Dawn's feelings.

Kristy tries to restrain her, but the director ends up calling and saying that he thinks Karen would be a good Tinkerbell and that he's decided to cast the part instead of having the fairy denoted by a light effect.SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-89174072193058180862011-07-19T09:18:46.179-07:002011-07-19T09:18:46.179-07:00My junior high and high school school had nine per...My junior high and high school school had nine periods. Sometimes I think that was overkill.<br /><br />It's been so long since I've read this one that I don't remember how Karen finangles a part in the play when she doesn't even attend Stoneybrook Elementary?<br /><br />First time commenter, but I look forward to your posts each week. Love your blog's voice and recap style :)<br /><br />(My captcha is "dyebrat" very Karen Brewer appropriate is Claudia wrote it)noseinanovelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228019167075379913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-89591049538758740462011-07-17T11:47:25.755-07:002011-07-17T11:47:25.755-07:00Laura: There was no candy hidden in her room since...Laura: There was no candy hidden in her room since they were hardly there. GREAT point about Jessi and the Dance School Phantom!<br /><br />I'll double-check about Barry Soeder, but I don't think the grade is specified. However, I was reading the book at one in the morning...which is why I misread the part about Jessi removing her credit. Thanks for catching that.<br /><br />Dawn came off as more sad that her dad wouldn't be there than whiny, but I agree, how did she know he couldn't come if she didn't ask? And what good would sending the program do after the fact? Just make him feel bad? I wasn't into drama, but when I had a sports competition my parents couldn't make, they wanted to know anyway so they could at least wish me luck. (And, actually, when I qualified for State-level competition, my dad, a lawyer, got a trial date rescheduled so he could go, because he's awesome)<br /><br />As for class periods, study hall was an option at my school too, but would be counted as one of the seven class periods. But that's a real-life school in the Seattle area, not a fake one in Connecticut.<br /><br />Thanks for all your great feedback!SJSiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996362396265436534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214193336996953667.post-17670923928480863112011-07-17T05:55:34.285-07:002011-07-17T05:55:34.285-07:00Yay, my fave SS!

(Because she decides she needs sugar for energy to check the sets when she gets to school to make sure they're not going to fall and kill anybody. And, hello, Claud, of course they're not. This isn't Jessi and the Dance School Phantom.)<br /><br />Totally agree about Winter Vacation.<br /><br />Isn't Barry Soeder in 8th grade? (Seeing as you've just read the book looking for things like that, you probably know better than I do.) Maybe he's just in 8th in my own mind but it doesn't actually say in the book.<br /><br />You didn't mention this but: No-one can think of a nickname for Savannah that isn't Vanna? How about Sav/Savvy or Ann/Anna?<br /><br />And now Mallory wants to be Miss Stanworth? But...but what about Pamme Reed?! (Though seeing as how AMM seems to hate her, she'd probably take any chance she can get to not be Mallory Pike.)<br /><br />Jessi doesn't only try to remove her Assitant Choreographer credit, she does remove it. When she agrees to play Nana and the Crocodile Mr. Cheney says he's sorry that that won't make it into the program and Jessi says that it's alright, remembering that she's not in the program anyway. (She's also a complainer as one of the things she lists as proof that she deserves and AP credit is that she's been trying to help Kristy learn her lines. What? Jess, maybe you haven't heard, but that's what friends do, no official credit needed.)<br /><br />It was totally sweet of Richard to tape the play for Jack. I still don't understand why Dawn didn't tell her dad/Jeff about the play, though. It's not like he's Patrick and out of her life. And don't Dawn and Jeff call each other fairly frequently? (And she says she didn't even tell her dad about the play and then complains that he's not there. Well, he can't be if he doesn't know there's anything going on. I'm sure he and Jeff could've hopped on a plane and seen at least one of her performances in person, if they'd known about it. Though I did think it was very touching when Jack said he hoped he and Dawn would never have to keep secrets from one another.)<br /><br />One of their class periods during the day seems to usually be study hall, in which no one cares if you aren't studying/working (Dawn says in Dawn's Wicked Stepsister that she and Kristy talked right through their whole study hall and no one cared.) so maybe you were deprived, if you were looking for a place/time to get your homework done before the end of the day. I don't remember having any kind of period like study hall in Junior (or Senior) High.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm sure I've rambled enough now. Great post, as usual.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658812757286301418noreply@blogger.com
