What are your favorite and least favorite SS's? I think my favorite is California Girls. It used to be Island Adventure (when I was a kid) but re-reading it now is kind of boring. I think I'd like it more if it focussed more chapters on Dawn and Claudia rather than the reactions back in Stoneybrook/NY. Another favorite is Baby-sitters on Board. Love it. I guess that's my #2 and California Girls is #1 I'll have to get back to you on my least favorite ETA: okay, least favorite has got to be Winter Vacation. They get stuck babysitting a busload of kids? Snore.

Sadly, I haven't read most of the later SS's yet, so I can't comment on them. From what I've read, though, my favorites are Snowbound and Island Adventure. Sea City, Here We Come! is also a good one. I hated Winter Vacation and Baby-sitters on Board. I also got kinda bored with Summer Vacation.

California Girls is my all-time favorite. My least favorite, without a doubt, is Here Come the Bridesmaids. Overall, I really enjoy the Super Specials, though. Even Winter Vacation had some classic moments, with Mallory dying to know what goes on when a boy and girl kiss and Jessi accusing Pinky of racism.

My favourite is Summer Vacation, probably because I went to overnight camp so I loved reading about the bsc doing the same thing.
Least favourite is Here Comes the Bridesmaids. It annoyed me so much how Dawn assumed Mary Anne would be a bridesmaid too. Even at 10 I knew it was ridiculous for Mary Anne, who has no relation to Jack or Carol, to be carol's bridesmaid.

And of course, Mary Anne's obligatory tantrums, first that she wasn't told about being a bridesmaid and then because she wasn't going to be a bridesmaid. Ugh, MA sounds so annoying. Talk about having to walk on eggshells. She's infuriating.

And yet in every Chapter 2, she's described as being shy and sensitive. It doesn't really add up, does ti?

I know a couple of shy people that are shy just because they don't want to let people know how they really are.

^ sure, but Mary Anne certainly let everyone know! She was always losing it with someone. Maybe she just doesn't know how to deal with her emotions very well or something.

But she went to Dr Reese and everything! Mary Anne is supposed to be emotion queen.

Favorite: Baby-Sitters' Summer Vacation because I love books and movies about summer camp. This was probably my favorite BSC book as a kid and made me obsessed with going to summer camp. My parents sent me and I hated it, but I still love the idea of it. I enjoyed all the storylines, except the Mal/Jessi one. Sorry, girls, they didn't hate you because they're racists. They hated you because you're nerds with matching armbands.
Least Favorite: Here Comes The Bridesmaids because I hate weddings. And also BSC In The USA because...it sucked. No other reason needed.
I almost put Viva Las BSC! on my favorite list, then remembered that, unfortunately, it is not a real Super Special.
