This is the book. The one that made me give up on this series. The previous book, where Betsy & Laura go time traveling, was saved in the last section from being a complete waste. This book had no such saving part. I realize that this book is the second in an offshoot trilogy, but at this point, I detest Betsy so much that I'll never go back to the series.
And to top it off, apparently, rather than grow up even a LITTLE BIT, Betsy has become even more stupid. As an example, something happens (no spoilers coming from me) :) & she must call Sinclair. She manages to dial the phone, he picks up, and she's completely lost in her thought process & he has to hound her to get her to focus enough to talk to him. I'm wondering if she drools at this point in her life. Another example: she has something she MUST tell her group of people. She gets sidetracked (again) and doesn't get back to it until 80 pages later! And even then, someone else tells the group the news.
If I wasn't sure there are still some die-hard Betsy fans out there, I would have just used this book for kindling instead of trading it. That said, I still enjoy MJD's other books. Her writing is still ok, as long as the characters are as well.

This was a little different book in this serics. It did not make me laugh as much and it has a sad ending but it is a great book. I can not wait until the next book comes out.

This was an awful book! Probably one of the worst in the Queen Betsy series, in my opinion! The only reason I finished it was so that I'd know what happened to all the characters of the series.
The writing itself was awful, as was the editing of the book. The characters were just parodies of themselves. Betsy was more self-centered & immature than ever before, to the point of being unfunny.
Don't waste your money on this book. If you need to read it, borrow it from a friend or get it from the library.

So absolutely disappointing. All the other books in the series have been clever and funny but this one is disjointed and confusing, jumping back and forth from present to past to future with no coherent story. I couldn't make it past chapter 3 before giving up. There's another in the series but this will probably be it for me. Betsy truly is dead!
