I still have my copy of BSC in the USA. I remember that new girl Abby being obsessed with Elvis and Mallory being a racist but not really and Mary-Anne getting all pissed at Dawn's dad. I wonder how long that trip would take in real life.

baby-sitters island adventure! I can still remember thw poor wording on the back cover, even though I was probably 12. Something about them being stranded on the island forever. Obviously the writer doesn't know what forever means!!

by Shawna @ My Nails Did on 12:00 AM. #

Baby-Sitters Summer Vacation was most definitely my favorite! Perhaps it stands out as my favorite because I didn't much care for Baby-Sitters On Board and my sister and I didn't have more than a couple of the Super Specials.

I remember owning a big BSC Christmas/Secret Santa book with removable letters and postcards.. I wonder where that is..

"Baby-sitters' Island Adventure" is the one I most clearly remember, so there must be a reason. Perhaps because it was just so incredulous? Even as a naive preteen who bought into a storyline about a bunch of girls who never left junior high, I still found it fairly impossible that any of them could survive on a deserted island for any amount of time--with kids, no less.

by neverenoughcoffee on 1:45 AM. #

Definitely a toss up between Island Adventure which was just totally AWESOME and BSC in the USA. I had the version with the shiny silver cover and that's how I learned you should stay in the bathroom if there's a tornado on the rampage....oh BSC you taught me everything I know

Super Special 14: BSC in the USA, hands down.

They were roadtripping cross country in two RVs (HAHAHA) so all the babysitters get to pick one place to stop at. And Kristy says something like: "Claud chose the Metropolitan Museum of Art but knowing her I bet she had a hard time deciding between this and Hershey Park."

Tough question... I am still fond of Super Special 3: Baby-sitters' Winter Vacation. It was one of the more plausible plots and despite living within an hour drive of New England, I have never spent an amount of time in a ski lodge. Or been to Hawaii. Or driven across the US.

lizzyluu(at)hotmail(dot)com

by Unknown on 10:19 AM. #

Sea City Here We Come! though seemingly less glamourous than some of the other specials (how did they manage to get to Hawaii, California, a US roadtrip AND Europe during their busy 8th grade babysitting schedule?!) but I remember aching to be a mother's help at a beach; to me that had to be the best job ever. Until I got it, plus 6 years of mosquito bites, sunburns, and summer flus with my own version of the Pike family.

Do I lose points for not remembering the title? Because it was the totally the one where they performed Peter Pan. ("Starring the Baby sitters club"?) I kept it after I "outgrew" the BSC and got rid of the rest of my books. It fueled my dreams of Broadway...somehow?

My favorite was Super Special #2, Baby-sitters' Summer Vacation. My best friend and I used the inside front cover of my copy to write dating advice to one another, despite the fact that we were 8 years old and had never actually been on any dates. My favorite tip from my friend was to "wear stockings and high heels," because that seemed like something Stacy would do.

My favorite Super Special is a tie between "California Girls" (if only for home state reasons) and "New York, New York" because of Claida vs. Mallory for the art class. My email is zigzag487@yahoo.com.

All you need for this post to be PBS-Ed to the max is to end it with "and thanks to contributions from viewers like you". That actually would be a nice touch.

by Zoey on 5:49 PM. #

Hard to pick a favorite Super Special-- probably a toss-up between Babysitters on Board (oh the heyday of Pre-Mallory. Plus, Claudia persuades herself that a rock star is her secret admirer) and California Girls, where Mallory gets that horrendous makeover.

by Unknown on 6:14 PM. #

Definitely "Starring the Babysitter's Club" - partly because I love Peter Pan and because that's the one where Dawn becomes Miss Feminism and tries to rewrite Peter Pan, right? And Jessi throws a bitch fit because she isn't the star?? Good stuff :)

My favorite was definitely Aloha, Babysitters. I liked that it focused on Claudia for a big part, and gave her a real, emotional story, because as much as I love the descriptions of what she wears, after a while it became all her character was. This book showed that she had more depth and spirit.

keller_sabrina@yahoo.com

by Sabrina on 9:23 PM. #

"Aloha, Babysitters!" Not to be a walking stereotype, but I wasn't a Mallory fan and I sort of loved that she couldn't go. Also, I've had a lifelong habit of reading books in the bathtub and the first and only book I've ever managed to drop in the bathwater was "Aloha, Babysitters!" And OF COURSE it was a library book so I had to shell out like $15 or something. I still have it!

My favorite was Snowbound, not because it stands out as having any merit above and beyond the other volumes but because it was the only Super Special I received in a stack of other BSC books when I was stuck in bed with the flu. Weird how a fever can enhance a tale of thirteen year old babysitters surviving a blizzard.

by Unknown on 11:03 PM. #

My absolute favorite Super Special was "Sea City, Here We Come!" I must've read that one over and over again.

I also really liked the one where they go to camp and the one where they go visit Dawn in CA. Come to think of it, how did 13 year olds have so much disposable income to spend on vacations?

by Anonymous on 11:19 PM. #

Baby-Sitters on Board, without a doubt. My mother bought it for me before summer vacation in 1995- I know because it's written on the inside cover- and I read and reread that book hundreds of times. As much as I love their road trip around the US, or their trip to California, or when they got MAROONED ON A ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF CONNECTICUT, I loved the cruise/Disney combo best.

by Nora on 1:12 AM. #

My favorite was definitely California Girls! I was just telling my roomie yesterday about Claudia going on that awkward date with that guy she met on the beach, and having to eat snails because she accidentally ordered them. Plus, they get to visit Derek Masters on set! Mallory experiments with makeup, Mary Anne bonds with the asthmatic kid, and Stacey is featured on the cover in a bikini that I hope to God no thirteen-year-old's mother would ever let her wear. And isn't that the one where she gets in the accident?! The plot twists just keep happening!

Island adventure, because if Claudia could survive on an island, I felt so could I. as a child with a seriously overactive imagination, this, and everything else that happened to the babysitters, seemed like a teenaged inevitability and i was calmed by the skills i picked up from this book. ha.

Snowbound or Island Adventure... this is probably because I was still reading them in middle school, and everyone knows that middle school required reading lists are based solely around survival stories.

I loved "Baby Sitters on Board" because it was the first super special and reading a big book seemed so much more serious. Like I was reading War and Peace or something.

I loved BSC in the USA - even though parts of it were completely ridiculous (like any sane father would take all those kids on a cross-country road trip, let alone TWO fathers). Mr. Schafer runs out of gas in the Badlands (hilarious); Abby is obsessed with Elvis (random); Jessi has a weird, sobering experience on a Southern plantation, (interesting, but a drag); they get stuck in a tornado (cliche); Stacey doesn't get that there is more than one coffee shop in Seattle (FAIL); and Kristy ends up seeing her dad in a weird, contrived situation. I do love how Mary Anne's grandma tells Mr. Schafer off (he gets uber annoying), and irritating Dawn, who wants to find a "ghost town" ends up in a tourist trap.

OK. I've got to read it again. One of my faves!

by Allison on 6:22 PM. #

Too many! This is difficult to figure out! I think I love the Snowbound one most, though, Sea City, here we come is awesome too. Oh! And Shipwrecked! ACK! TOO MANY SUPER SPECIALS. I wish I had read the USA one, but by the time that came out, I had moved on to Christopher Pike.

omg this entire thread has been a walk down memory lane! I LOVED the super series best..I mean HELLO, the handwriting! I was a font junkie back then, even without a personal computer. I love them all, really. Island Adventure literally scared me into thinking that I too one day would be stuck on a deserted island...Snowbound also made me live real terror. I lusted after summer camp (still haven't forgiven my parents) and a disney cruise (also still on my bucket list) Reading these comments made me realize how many girls had similar yearnings based on the completely unrealistic travelings of the BSC. Thanks, Ann M. I guess the ultimate winner is Sea City, because its a trip I actually HAVE taken. Love those ragtag Pikes (hello Weasleys?)

I loved second Super Special...I think it's because I never got to go to summer camp as a kid so I've always had a fascination with camp stories. Go Camp Mohawk!

Baby-Sitters on Board! Because even as an eight-year-old, I noticed the two children leaning precariously over/through the railings. The illustrators caught the girls slacking once again.

And totally the first one "Baby Sitters on Board" - I still think of Claudia's gladiator sandals and bikini every time I go to Disney World.

NO DOUBT "New York New York"! It came out when I was 10 and made me think that I too needed a pivotal trip to The Big Apple.

It's a toss-up between Baby-sitters on Board! - I loved when Karen got the manicure and the presents from Claudia's secret admirer - and California Girls when they WIN THE LOTTERY, even they are only 11-13 years old (remember when Mallory tries to become an actress and dyes her hair blonde and it looks terrible... classic).

Definitely #14 BSC in the USA
Aside from how awesome it is to say the two acronyms together that book had it all. Surviving a tornado, and getting stuck in the desert and duh - kristy seeing her dad. Plus they're all better when we can get some crazy Karen entries in there.
BTW: what kind of parents let their daughter ride in the other RV while agreeing to take along her other friends? Although you can't blame Kristy, who wants to be in the junior RV. she clearly made the better choice

I'm going with "California Girls!" because the scenes with Claudia and her sophisticated date, Mallory's new makeup and dyed hair and Stacey hanging with the wrong crowd (you can't trust a surfer, moral of the story) are still fresh in my mind, despite it being years and years since I last read the book.

BSC in the USA for sure. I owned it as a child but I sold it at my grandma's rummage sale. A few months ago I found a copy at a used book store and I snatched it up immediately. Best idea I've ever had.

Liz (lizreger@disposable.com)

by thelizparade on 3:54 PM. #

BSC in the USA alllll the way. Mostly because the cover was so sparkly and the edition I got came with a super cool necklace that was my most prized possession for about four years.

I guess it would have to be California Girls. I didn't keep up with the Super Specials as much, but I remember liking that one.

by mysticgypsy128 on 10:30 PM. #

When I was a kid, Baby-Sitters at Shadow Lake was my favourite super special. I think because I was mesmerized by the idea of the giant cabin Kristy's family has. Looking back, I think it has less of a plot than any of the other super specials.

It's hard to pick...but I will go with California Girls! (the exclamation is in the title, I do believe). I loved Mallory's makeover....but she's freaking 11! who let's an 11 year old do that?

SS #9- Starring the Baby-Sitters Club!

I loved all the drama and I always LOL reading Claudia's entry: "Stace whanted to be in the play but she did not whant to be Sam's husbend."
Classic Caludia.

Ohhh I'd love to win! My favorite Super Special is tough... Baby-sitters on Board is the clearest in my mind (I think you've mentioned the fab Claudia outfits from that one) but I'd have to pick New York, New York!

Snowbound! I grew up in Florida, so it seemed really exotic.

Babysitters on Board or California girls. I remember thinking Dawn was kind of dorky in the first and Mallory..oh dear... in the second!

Babysitters on Board.

I was and still am inexplicably fascinated with cruise ships. I've never been on one, but one day I will, and I will bring my copy of Baby Island and read it on the top deck and pretend to be Vanessa Pike.

Babysitters' Summer Vacation all the way! I always dreamed of being a camp councelor when I was younger. I wanted to be just like Kristy!

Wow, this is really hard. I think it's a toss-up between "New York, New York!" and "Starring the Baby-sitters Club" - I loved the Jessi romance and the awesome night on the town that the BSC goes on for the former, and the latter was just a drama romp.

That said, I do have a soft spot for "Baby-sitters at Shadow Lake" - loved Claudia's chutzpah in decorating that little boat for the boat show, and how the Stacey-Sam relationship finally happened.

by Tiff @ Mostly YA Lit on 4:41 PM. #

All of the specials are so action-packed it's hard to choose, but I'd have to say California Girls due to Kristy fighting with the We Love Kids Clubs and Stacey hanging with the surfers who I always thought sounded way cooler than the BSC.

There were occasionally short spells of silence. Then the music burst out again with formidable rollings, while the  mulberry handbags   master of the ceremonies summoned the acolytes with their   karen millen dresses   chandeliers, and conducted the censer-bearers to the   mulberry bags  officiating clergyman, who  karen millen   blessed the incenses in the vases. Now there was constantly   karen millen uk  heard the movements of the   mulberry factory shop  censer, with the  mulberry outlet   silvery sound of the little chains   karen millen outlet   as they swung back and forth in the clear light. There was in the air a bluish, sweet-scented cloud, as they incensed the Bishop, the clergy, the altar, the Gospel, each person and each thing in its turn, even the close crowd of people, making the three movements, to the right, to the left  mulberry sale  , and in   mulberry bag  front, to m&ark nbsp; karen millen sale   the Cross.
