Well, I guess if a kid has/is recovering from cancer, it's easy to feel lenient towards them, but Jessi learns what a bad idea this is. However, this is a BSC book, so expect a saccharine=sweet ending after the kid's crazy antics.
*may contain spoilers*
Another awesome BSC book, I recently reread it and it's definitely a good book. I loved Danielle in Jessi's Wish, so I knew I'd like this book... but she's totally out of control in this book! Not in a mean/defiant way, though, more in a "her parents aren't setting any limits" type of way. And I can understand why they want to give her freedom to do whatever she wants, it's the first time she actually *can* do these things, have the energy and drive to do them. She's had such a hard time that it's understandable to want to give her that free rein... But it goes too far, and her "creativeness" ends up getting her friends in trouble and even getting someone hurt. I'm really glad that everything got sorted out at the show more end, because I really like Danielle and it wasn't fair to her that her parents were acting like that... all kids need boundries. show less
