Mary Anne's Makeover
1. The way the entire BSC (minus Logan and Shannon) shunned Mary Anne over her haircut decision. The cut was atrocious but it totally sounded like the BSC was pissed because MA did not get their permission to get her hair cut (period) from them.
2. Mary Anne and her Dad never had another outing or even time at home (that we read about) together.
3. The semi lame Back to the Future Subplot. Was least it wasn't WoO.

Jessi and the Awful Secret:
1. Yet another Jessi book (mostly) about ballet.
2. Jessi not telling any adult sooner about Mary.
3. Strangeness and randomness of the "Kristy is jealous of Shannon" subplot.

Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever:
1. Lou swinging Boo-Boo in a pillowcase. Hated that scene.
2. The fact that the BSC even sat for Lou. Would I saddle a 13-year-old sitter with a foster kid who clearly has all kinds of issues? Hell no!
3. Dawn snotting about Claudia eating Frosted Flakes at a club meeting. "They're CEREAL. For BREAKFAST. And they're practically ALL SUGAR." Shut up, Dawn.

Claudia's Friend:
1. The way Stacey treated Claudia.
2. That there was never any future tutoring between Shea and Claudia.
3. That Dawn just had to point out that besides Stacey she was the only person that did not order ice cream. I guess that's better than her lecturing the kids who did.

Dawn's Family Feud
1. Sharon and Richard not stopping the fighting sooner. 2. Mary Anne not knowing what the Tea Party is. I would think that she would know about it at her age and since because lives in New England. 3. The fight between Mary Anne, Dawn and Jeff.

Stacey's Big Crush:
1. Stacey actually giving that poem to Wes. So embarassing for her!
2. Wes being so clueless. He couldn't see sooner that his student had a crush on him?
3. I thought Wes looked weird on the cover. Definitely not crush material.
Next: Maid Mary Anne

Maid Mary Anne:
1. Neither Richard nor Sharon stepped up/in as parents and "intervened" before "Maid" MA truly began.
2. The miraculousness (even in Stoneybrook) of the kids' quilt. It was a very sweet idea but I doubt in real life any of them (Claudia and MA, too) could have put together a quilt so quickly. A little too plot-convenient; especially since that was the end of the sewing classes.
3. MA's own passive-aggressiveness and indecision got old fast and reminded me very much of when a BSC member doesn't tell their parents something they should for fear of "bothering them."

Dawn's Big Move
1. Kristy's bossiness. It was annoying. 2. Dawn flip-flopping on her decision on whether or not to go to California. At first, she wanted to go back to California before deciding to stay in Stoneybrook before finally agreeing to go back to California. 3. The pro/con list.
Next book: Jessi and the Bad Baby-sitter

Jessi and the Bad Babysitter
1. The bad babysitter wasn't all bad... the title makes her seem worse than she actually was. 2. The BSC's "we art better than thou attitude" 3. How the cover of the book makes Claudia's room look really boring and ugly.

Get Well Soon Mallory 1. Mallory being the Sitter saddled with mono. Why couldn't it have been Jessi or Dawn? Anyone but poor Mal having all the rotten luck, as per usual. 2. Mrs. Pike not doing much of anything to stop the "cootie" name calling. 3. Karen, naturally, got to go on the shopping trip. How not surprising. It was Karen, DM, Nicky, Vanessa, Charlotte, and Becca. No "originality." Hey at least DM got to go, that was "amazing." Next Book: Stacey and the Cheerleaders

Stacey and the Cheerleaders
1. The special treatment that the cheerleaders and the people playing sports got from everyone (including the teachers). Does that even happen in middle school? It seems like something that happen more in college or high school. 2. Kids being furious that Robert quit the basketball. 3. That some of the girls that were rejected for the cheerleading squad were crying.

Claudia and the Perfect Boy:
1. That after 70 original series along with countless other BSC books, Marnie is suddenly severly allergic to poor Pow.
2. That MA never talked with Sean regarding Dr. Reese.
3. Stacey's "well-meaning," but not quite right and odd, actions of pretending to be a guy after Claudia.

Dawn and the We Love Kids Club
1. Dawn thinking only about herself and not about the people that would be affected by her trip to Stoneybrook. 2. Not reading about Dawn paying back the tickets. 3. Dawn being delusional in that she thought her mom would let her stay in Stoneybrook.

Mary Anne and Miss Priss:
1. Mary Anne labelling Jenny as "Miss Priss and Miss Mess."
2. The triplets kickball team not continuing outside of this book.
3. Mrs. Prezzioso WAS annoying in this one.

Kristy and the Copycat
1. the misleading title - Karen was just a small subplot, and no where near as annoying as usual..
2. The hazing ritual was "go graffiti a shed" I know hazing is not meant to happen but surely they could have thought up something a bit more interesting for the girls to do.
3. Kristy never mentions the team much after that. Surely being a member of the squad is one of those chapter 2 mentionables like Jessis dance classes and Mals dentistry...
next #75 Jessis horrible prank.
