Let alone one that involves small children with runny noses and dirty nappies (or diapers, depending on whether you read the British or American versions!). I certainly didn't feel that way when I was thirteen (though I did kind of want to babysit, just to be like them!) and I don't think any thirteen year old I knew then or now would, either. *I think the main point is that this arc finally addresses what we’re all thinking–baby-sitting kind of blows, so why do these girls never try having a normal teenage existence?* That's something I've thought about a lot recently, because I've had this yen to reread the books and finally got round to it - part of me wants to say that they're afraid of becoming a Cokie if they allow themselves to live a life that doesn't involve small children, or that they're afraid of growing up with the responsibility that brings (though of course, the responsibility of a thirteen year old babysitting a nine month old baby is insignificant!). Or maybe they just like kids. A LOT. Maybe they were all secret perverts? *shrug* Every time I read the books now, I want to strangle them ALL for the crazy notion that BSC = life and friends/life outside the club = bad, because honestly - what thirteen year old REALLY wants to be so tied down and devoted to a ’successful business’?

I always thought Stacey and Mary Anne books were the best. This was due to the fact that they were the ones most focused on boys/relationships. Mary Anne with Logan and Stacey with the ample number of guys who thought she was the most dibbly-fresh girl in all of Stoneybrook. Let's face it- we all get sick of reading about 5 year olds playing in a softball game. I agree with the Stacey goes bad story arc. I always thought Stacey and Mary Anne books were the best.

Ha ha ha. I particularly like the "Stacey Goes Baaad" (I'm really tempted to make that into a 'sheep are in' joke, but I won't) arc because it was completely different and it wasn't part of the usual "normal life/CRISIS/solved by chapter 15" routine. All right, it only lasted five books (more if you count the Mysteries), but it was still excellenty. “That story put me off wanting to try drinking for at least like, three months.”
