Claudia and Mean Janine is one of the least flattering covers in the series. Janine just looks so ugly on this one.

^ Agree. And Janine does look really mean, which I don't think she is in the story. I think one of my least favorites is Claudia and the New Girl. I commented in the thread on that one about it looking to me like Ashley has a cane and I can't stand her outfit. Also don't like the super specials where they don't appear to have necks.... Admit that I never started looking at the covers until I read these boards but I really don't like many of them. I would prefer to picture the girls in my mind and this picture is usually different than the descriptions and illustrations.

^ I thought Claudia in Claudia's Freind Friend, looked kind of like a guy at first because the dark-colored background hid the rest of her hair. And I don't know if this has already been said (I apologize if it already had) but what is up with the cover of Little Miss Stoneybrook and Dawn? The little kids look like characters from mad-tv.

My least favorite Claudia cover is DEFINITELY "Claudia and the Bad Joke."

I thought she looked pretty bad on Claudia and the Perfect Boy. I think Mary Anne and Too Many Boys is one of the worst covers.

^ Agree on both of those being awful. Claudia's outfit on Perfect Boy is very ..... interesting. ;D

Claudia looks so weird on the new cover of Goodbye,Stacey,Goodbye. She's all like "Talk to the hand."

I think Stacey looks hideous on the cover of New York New York (with her brown pants and horse teeth).
I also hate any cover where they're wearing "mom jeans" (Dawns Wicked Stepsister, MA's Makeover, etc).

I would have to say the newer version of Claudia and the Phantom Phone calls (the one with the panel of pictures down the left side). Okay, one, could Claudia look any MORE like a mexican man in a scrunchie? And two, what is with that midget she's holding looking down her hideous shirt??

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but on the cover of Mary Anne and 2 Many Babies, Mary Anne looks old enough to be the Salem twins' mom, right down to the clothes (my mother had an outfit almost exactly like that when I was a wee imp).

^ She does look way older than 13 (which doesn't bother me because that is how I always picture her) but that is actually one of my favorite cover pics of her. Especially like her hair As for the clothes, I'm a bit older than you so those were more from my era ;D

Ugh SS 8 BSC at Shadow Lake. Jessi looks like a hideous boy. I found it at goodwill on Sunday and while looking at it today on my lunch break I thought "who is that ugly boy on the cover? oh wait it's just Jessi..." This is the ugliest I've seen Jessi yet.

^;D It's fitting you found this cover at goodwill. For some reason, reading that gave me a good laugh when I needed it right now. A lot of the covers are pretty unflattering, I think. I never even really noticed how awful they are until I came on these boards. As a kid, I did have my own impressions of them from some of my favorite covers but must have just overlooked the bad ones.

I've gotten a large portion of my collection at goodwill. 39 cent children's paperbacks is heaven for collecting. I bought something like 30 books on sunday and paid around 13 dollars. I ended up with something like 24 more ls books, two regular bsc series books, two super specials and 2 mysteries.

^I also got a lot of my BSC books from Goodwill. I'm always there stalking the bookshelf for new arrivals. ;D
