This the second in the series and is just as good as the first book. This book focuses on Brenda instead of Al as in the last book. The friends are still all together at the ballet school. The focus of this book is Brenda's cousin Tiffany. Brenda is jealous of her rich cousin and in order to top her, she tells a stupid lie which leads her to make the stupid decision to steal the special autographed ballet slippers of her dance teacher. The book deals with the drama and consequences of stealing and lying. Unlike the Wimpy Kid, this girl has integrity and doesn't justify it or "oh well" it. She knows it is a bad thing, she feels guilt and remorse, and even though she tries to correct the problem without her mom finding out, she does the right thing in the end because she basically has a good moral base and will not even let a stranger take the fall for her. I really like these books as they are funny and entertaining. Now I like them because they also show good values in a day when they seem to be lacking.
