Jeff would definitely be the subplot in that one, and the subplot I always forget which book it's in. ;D Even though it's not my favorite, I do like that one pretty well, too.

It's one of my favorites...Little Miss S is in my top BSC books.

^ My favorites, too. Of course, I've been singing the Pike songs and rhymes in my head over and over and over since I read it last week. ;D

I just read All New Mallory Pike and actually liked the room wars subplot pretty well. Not my very favorite but definitely enjoyable. I always like the Pike subplots - well, most of them, at least. ;D

Dunno if it counts as a subplot per se, but i rubbed my hands in fiendish glee that the stupid Fall Back Into Fall festival in Kristy's Worst Idea collapsed and imploded like most of those dang festivals probably would have in the first place! People were actually less than enthused to go to all that trouble! Actually that whole book was a wonderful clash with reality (what can I say, I'm evil and I love when reality rears it's ugly head in fictional universes) but I do so enjoyed the Festival Subplot that Never Was.

^ Come to think of it, I liked that FiF didn't work out also! Seriously...stringing apples from trees so people could pick them? Whatever.  |

^ I remember thinking, the first time I read the book, how glad I was that I didn't have to read about the FiF. While I'm not a huge fan of most of the carnivals/parties/etc they throw, Fall into Fall sounded especially boring to me. |

^ Did they ever even do the Fall into Fall? I thought they did do it but I might be wrong. I don't like that book much so don't read it very often. ;D

^ They never did it. They were having another fall fesitival on the same day in Stoneybrook, so Kristy wanted to push it back but it was almost into winter. Then the club broke up. So it never got done.
It sounded stupid anyway. Kristy wanted to do "maple sugaring" and the other girls were like "what the heck is that"?

Sugaring off is done at the cusp of winter and spring, anyway.

That's funny the girls didn't know about sugaring but I can't exactly picture Stacey on a farm. ;D
I really like a lot of the sitting chapters, especially the ones with the Pikes and Barretts. I don't know if this is exactly a subplot but one thing I love in MA and Too Many Babies is all of the sitting chapters, especially with the Gianellis. ;D

tapping maple trees to get the maple sap, which is then turned into maple sugar/syrup.

Why would they want to do that? Isn't sap like sticky and gross? Then it has to be taken somewhere to turn into sugar. I don't get it. Which book was this?
