i thought that the book was very good, i used to have one when i was in 3rd grade but lost it when i moved. i felt really sad one day and remember " Welcome Back Stacey!" and how it was my first ever BSC book! so i searched around and found it, not in a store though a book order! but believe me it's worth the wait! in this story stacey's parents get divorce, and she has a choice whether to stay in NYC with her dad or move back to Stoneybrook with her mom! of course she loves Stoneybrook and all the members of the BSC but what about Laine, her dad, and all of her friends? stacey realized that NYC was her first home and where she felt most comfortable at, but her choice is well.. obvuois right? anyways i was glad that stacey deceied to move back to Stoneybrrok, because the books weren't the same with out her! nice job ann on another well written book!

I am a psychology major and was thoroughly disgusted by the treatment of divorce in this book. First of all, Stacey's reaction to her parents' decision to split up is not how children of divorce react. Not only does divorce cause extreme pain in children for a long time, but it also causes them to deal with emotional and pychological problems for the rest of their lives. Furthermore, Martin makes it sound as if her parents are not to blame for their problems (they "just happened") and makes the reader think the decision to divorce was the right one. Unless one of the parents is abusive, divorce is NOT the right choice for the kids; fights are better for the kids than divorce is! And when parents do fight and/or divorce, they should be held accountable. I usually have respect for Martin's series because it usually is a good role model for young girls, but this book is a definite exception.

It was good to see Stacey return to the BSC because the books when she was gone were dull, and because she was my favorite. However it is sad that it was in the event of her folks' divorce! Also, I was a bit irritated. I know a lot of people choose divorce, but what is all this? First Kristy's, then Dawn's, Mary Anne had no mother--Claudia was the only one from the original BSC from an unbroken home. It is sad the way these books seem to glorify divorce and make it seem okay. Her folks were wimps about it; they chose divorce as a first resort rather than last, just because they didn't want to deal with it! And I think Stacey's folks were selfish babies to fight like a pair of spoiled brats! If they cared about their daughter, they should try to work things out!
