I reread this with my ten year old and it was nostalgia for days. I love Peter Pan and reading about the Babysitter's being a part of one of my favorite plays was great. Reading it with my daughter was fun. I was coming in with a mom's perspective this time and it was fun to compare our points of view and to share a book from my childhood is always a fun bonus.

Oh god all of the girls are so annoying in this one but it was cute and light (except for that emotional bolt out of the blue at the end with Kristy and Dawn's dad's...ouch) and familiar because I was also part of a production of Peter Pan. So, that said, way better than most of the other Super Specials lately.

As a kid my best friends sister had the whole BSC series on a book shelf in her room. I thought she was so grown up. And I envied this bookshelf. And would often poke my head into that room just to look at it.
And when I read BSC, I felt like such a grown up.
And while I might have still been a little too young to understand some of the issues dealt with in these books, I do appreciated that Ann M. Martin tackled age appropriate issues, some being deeper than others, but still important.

I really enjoyed this one. I like how Dawn and Kristy wanted their fathers to be there.
I like how MaryAnne's dad taped the play for Dawn to send to her dad. I know Richard has always had that "stick in the mud" rep, but he was always a great parent.

Jessi was being such a annoying brat I wanted to slap her.
I'm so happy for Kristy.

THE HORROR! WHY!? NOOOOOOO!
Seriously! Did we need chapters from Cokie? From Jackie? It was painful! PAINFUL! Also I did not like super cocky Jessi at ALL. I didn't remember much of this from childhood. No wonder. It's horrible.
