Title: Why would I want to plant these ideas in my child's head?
Review: Claudia is the most cold-hearted, repellent character I have ever found as the protagonist of a juvenile novel. She takes very little notice of, let alone feels remorse for, the agony she puts her family through when she runs away. She steals money and deceives people. And the resolution does nothing to improve her attitude towards her parents, but in fact gives her even more reason to be secretive from them. I read this book to see if it would be good for my kids. The answer is a resounding NO.
