Karen's Grandmother

Karen's Grandmother
by Ann M. Martin

I can imagine that every little girl read the books in the Babysitters Club Series. This particular book is about Karen, whose parents are divorced, which causes her to have four grandmothers. Karen then volunteers to go visit the elderly at the nursing home. She then thinks that she has five grandmas. I think that this book is really good in showing morals. Karen has second thoughts about devoting her time to the elderly lady after she finds out that her assigned person is not what she had hoped for. In the end she realizes that all her grandparents are special and that what she was doing for all of them was truly special as well. I would hope that you girls would learn from this book and come to enjoy volunteer work. I would hope that they would find that joy in their work that Karen did.
