good book in the beginning of the book karen is learning about the fall season and her class bakes leaf shaped cookies and does arts and crafts and her tooth starts hurting all day and then at the big house it was hurting so she goes to the dentist and finds out she has to have it pulled and is so scared that she hides to avoid the appointment the first time it was scheduled. I can relate because I was scared of going to the dentist too when I was 7 and had a problem similar to karen's. I liked reading about karen being a fortune teller for her classmates and about the space themed dentist's office.
