I will always be grateful to Barbara Wallace for Claudia, which is why I recently picked this up at Park Hill Books (a co-operative used book store). This, eh, it was okay. Well, good. Well, I shouldn't expect everything she wrote to be Claudia. But I think expecting things not to be just a rehash is fair too. Also, was the Scholastic imprint the '70s book equivalent of today's straight-to-video toddlers' movies?
