It would make more sense if it were loose leaf paper. In the movie I think it's also a binder.

that way everyone can just bring her paper(s) to add and pass around.

But the papers in the binder might become messy in there and a spiral notebook has some degree of a guarantee of being organized? And papers could fall out in a binder? And putting them back in could cause mis-orderings or mess-ups?

^Lol, I agree. Plus if they could always use paper protectors. We should all keep an eye out for notebook talk in the books so we can solve the binder vs. spiral mystery. It's quite possible--especially in Stoneybrook, Ghostwriters--that at one time both notebooks were both types. It would be good to know.

That might not do any good...Claudia's phone was located in about 6 different places throughout the series, so THAT mystery was unsolvable. I think someone even started a thread about it at one time or another!

Almost a year since we last talked about this book but is October now. I have always said this is my second favorite book of the series. That may have changed but how I love that both Mimi and Louie are healthy in this story. Yesterday and today were/are anniversaries of when my Grandma and Champ became angels in heaven. I wanted to read a BSC book with both a Grandma and doggie friend in it. Mimi will forever be my very favorite series character with Louie right beside her. I will always wish both had remained healthy throughout. In this book I had forgotten that when Claudia is working on her portrait of Mimi, one of the memories of her childhood Mimi shared was that she (Mimi) lived with her parents, older sister, and her father's father, her grandfather. Was that his only mention? I know we never do learn anything sadly about Mimi's husband. It made me smile to know young Mimi had a close Grandpa in her life, reminded me of my own. I think besides red and blue ribbons and MA's "surefire alarms," what endears me so much to this book is that while it may include a criminal (Phantom) he doesn't overtake the story. The focus was still on friendships and I loved how both MA and Claud call Kristy at Watson's to be sure she's okay and even Charlotte and Stacey come across as closer in that chapter. The other factor were the clients. Newtons, my very favorite client family was in it, wish Claudia had remembered how much she liked Mrs. Newton in later books--I could imagine the two of them talking and Mrs. N being a friend to Claudia. I also noticed all four dads were mentioned, five if you count Mr. Willis who called the BSC, maybe he is a relative of the Ohdner's? Mr. Newton. Mr. Johanssen, Mr. Marshall, and Watson all had active scenes. I know this is off topic to this post but, related to our above notebook discussion. I hope for this book, anyway, the notebook was a binder because Claud tells us she pulls out a gigantic chocolate bar out of her notebook. A binder would at least (maybe) have pockets. The idea of Claud jamming a candy bar in between pages of a spiral notebook and tossing that in with her other stuff, just doesn't sound too appetizing to me. But then, I sure loved when Claud and Janine share that taffy.

I think you proved the notebook point once and for all!

They do talk about needing to buy more filler paper.

Thanks everyone for bumping up this thread as it gives me a friendly reminder to read it sometime this month!

I spent yesterday reading this. I read it lots when I was younger but I misremembered some stuff.
I think Claudia is my favorite sitter. There weren't too many of her books I disliked and I am kind of facinated with Janine. I love that this book rounds her out more.
