I was also concerned with a non male sitter esp if boys are going in a locker room! Then again perhaps there are not a lot if pedo male creepers in stoneybrook

^I would hope not. :/ One thing I did just think of was why Kristy never asked Shea or male Pool Employee to check if Jackie was in the locker room. She just sort of rang her hands for quite a bit of time.

^That's pretty consistent with Kristy in SS#1, when Karen is gone long enough to get a manicure and a Coke and Kristy never asks anyone to help her find a missing six-year-old on a huge cruise ship, she just worries.
From MA's postcard to Kristy in Chapter 3:
LOL, it's like foreshadowing of SS#10.

When Mary Anne was talking to Vanessa. (Chapter 14) When Mallory sat straight up pointing at Mary Anne. Her lines still cracks me up.
Mallory: "I told you I want sunscreen, not sunblock!"
Stacey on the front cover, does not look like Stacey at all. They made Stacey look like a dork or something.

^He really could be. He also (to me) was a much more positive and endearing (outside of Dawn's Family Feud) character than Dawn. If the Pike boys had been better developed as individual characters instead of just "the triplets" maybe Jeff might have had more of a role. I still feel awful for him later in the series because it sure came across to me anyway, that Sharon missed Dawn a lot more than Jeff. She never said as much, just never really asked about Jeff either. He certainly never visited Stoneybrook without Dawn. I had hoped he might have (he said he was thinking about the idea maybe at the end of Bridesmaids) of spending a semester in CT. That might have been good for him, no long term commitment so maybe he could just enjoy a change of scene. Interesting to think about.

He comes across the same way in *Babysitters Island Adventure*.

The postcards and letters being sent back and forth would probably be replaced nowadays by texts and e-mails.
A 13-year-old having a string bikini is a bit surprising to me. Also surprising is Dawn thinking that Mary Anne would want to wear it!

^ Of course. Much easier just get out your cellphone text someone. You just saw a hottest guy on the planet. You must tell them right away.
When, I was 13. I wore bikini. But not a string bikini. My parents would never approve of it. I don't get the string bikinis. It's like women practically wearing nothing. It's either be naked or cover up.

As long as it's not a string bikini as in a g string, I don't think a string bikini is more revealing than any other bikini. As long as you get the right size, everything that needs to be covered is covered.

I don't think a string bikini is all that bad either; it's just strings instead of straps, and the rest of the suit is usually decent coverage.

The less there is, the harder it is to keep it on.

The less there is, the harder it is to keep it on. A simple dress requires less steps to remove... Unless you're in a full-on Victorian bathing costumes with lots of buttons, it's not that hard to take off anything you could feasibly wear at the beach.

I think a bikini is "harder to keep on" in the sense that I've never had to worry about a dress spontaneously leaving my body, like you might if you're wearing a string bikini and a wave comes! (If it's a true string bikini - tied with strings, rather than straps being one continual piece - that's definitely a risk.)
