First off, this is one of the best books in the BSC Series and it was so well written. Great job, Ms. Martin!Since Mary Anne has been sitting for the Kuhn kids, she's noticed how much Jake misses his divorced dad. Mary Anne thinks jake needs a guy to hang around with...but she doesn't tell Mrs.Kuhn this. So Mary Anne invites Logan over to play with Jake while she's baby-sitting.Everything's perfect--until one day Mrs. Kuhn comes home early and finds Logan there. It's just a misunderstandding, but all Mrs. Kuhn and Kristy see is that Mary Anne has broken the number one rule of baby-sitting. She's invited her boyfriend over. What will happen to the BSC when their other clients find out? Read this book to find out!
So we all know that Mrs. Kuhn catches Maryanne with Logan right? That's not a spoiler, it is written at the back of the book. I thought that this book would be really interesting to read because sometimes parents just assume the worst. The fact that it is Maryanne that gets caught and not the other girls was also interesting because we all know that Maryanne is known for being outspoken (that was a joke, she is really sensitive). I felt as if the situation blew over too quickly, without any real drama in it-I know that this is a bsc book, but come on this book could have been as dramatic as Stacey and the Bad Girls-which I loved. Overall, I can never say anything bad about a Maryanne book. But the rising action fell too quickly...
Shows a different aspect of the club: what happens when you break a rule? Although Mary Anne's motives may be pure, she breaks a rule nonetheless. Loved that this takes place in autumn, although you would never know it looking at the cover. I wish there was more autumn imagery rather than just Halloween references. I don't necessarily find this series believable, even for the time period. But fantasy is what it's all about anyway. Sometimes I think it's just so obvious that it's adults writing as though they're 13. But it's addictive and awesome and that's what matters. Dawn, now absent from the club, does make some guest appearances although it's through telephone calls. This story probably featured Shannon more than any I've ever read. What I LOVE about this series is it's soap-opera-esque way of keeping things consistent without always delving into the deep. What I mean is that all the characters from beginning to end are still in some way present--but new readers wouldn't even know that some of the names dropped have long histories. And the readers may not need to know if they're just reading this one story. For instance, I found it cool to see Todd Masters' name mentioned during the Halloween sequence. Some readers may just think that's a name thrown in just for the heck of it. But Todd was featured a lot when his brother Derek was a TV star and Jessi became his friend in "Jessi and The Superbrat". This whole series, for that reason and many others, is such a gem.
When Mary Anne baby sits for the Kuhn kids, Jake misses his dad. So Mary Anne brings Logan and everything is fine. When Mrs. Kuhn comes home early, She finds it misunderstanding. Mrs. Kuhn gets mad at Mary Anne for bringing Logan. But lately Mrs. Kuhn haandles Logan well already now.
