I found a bunch of BSC mysteries I didn’t remember well and/or hadn’t read on the library website and got super excited.
I now realize why I didn’t remember this one well — nothing happened.
Quite the let down compared to the gun wielding stalkers of Babysitters Beware.

I don't even know what to say about these Dawn books anymore. I have trouble caring about her friends in California since we don't get to know them at all and I care even less about her sitting charges. Then the ending is extremely obvious from the beginning. The only fun element is that it's Halloween and the Stoneybrook DeWitts and Barretts are cute...although the last book was also a Halloween book and none of those Halloween plans are mentioned at all.

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.

Dawn witnesses a robber in a Halloween mask escaping from a convenience store hold-up in broad daylight a few weeks before Halloween. For whatever reason, the local parents decide that Halloween is cancelled unless the robber is caught first, motivating Dawn and her We <3 Kids Club friends to try to solve the case - while simultaneously planning a Halloween party so the children have something fun to do should they fail. (One of these is a more rational response than the other, although I think the most rational response would have been to talk to the parents about it: "Cancelling Halloween because of a completely unrelated crime? Are you saying Halloween can only happen in places where the crime rate is ZERO??") The twists and turns of this book are both implausible and uninteresting.
Lingering Questions: Seriously, under what circumstances would it be okay to have Halloween? How big is Palo City, anyway? It has "city" in the name so I'm thinking it's not a tiny crossroads. Aren't there robberies like every day?

Oh the mysteries. They are always so cheesy, but I gotta always give points to a BSC book that features a, gasp, gun! You mean violence and crime exists in the world? Though, to be fair, this is Palo City! So dangerous!
