Jessi always had the makings of being an interesting character, but her books were always some of the most boring. This one was very meh too, especially the B-plot about the science fair. I never cared for Aunt Cecelia when she started showing up, and I don't know how Jessi dealt with her for so long. I'd have gone squealing to my mom asap.

Anyway the whole thing was kind of a snooze fest. A lot of build up, for not much payoff.
