The books tend to have a lot of characters that are usually in one book. In terms of getting to know the clients which ones do you think we got to know the best?

If we only count non-BSC related clients then I think the Barretts stuck around the longest. They were kept alive by adding the DeWitts. If I remember correctly a lot of the early clients disappeared as the series went on.

Charlotte has stuck around for awhile too. If you had to count among the siblings who do you think it would be? I know a lot of Mal's family shifted around a lot. I feel like Margo never got enough development outside of being the one that gets motion sickness.

I think the Arnold twins are pretty well developed characters - we find out specific things that they like and dislike in the early books and later plots include things they like (ie Carolyn building a time traveling machine/she likes science) instead of generic “the kids made a mess” sort of things.
Jackie has probably the most consistent character trait but his character doesn’t really do much besides be klutzy.

I think Shea is one of the most developed characters. He started out as just an afterthought (one of Jackie's brothers) but he's really fleshed out in Recipe for Danger and Freind Friend. I like his relationship with Claudia a lot.

I remember Hannie got a lot of development in the little sister series too.

Charlotte, Hannie, Karen, Andrew, Jackie, Becca and the Pike siblings were about the most developed clients in the series.

I read the title to this thread and thought something so different. Lol. Lol, maybe I should have rephrased that title. Can to imagine the female clients getting together like in Are You There God, Its Me Margaret.

Can to imagine the female clients getting together like in Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. I can! It would be neat! Judy Blume wrote some fine female bonding, coming-of-age epics in her time.

Does Karen count too? Especially since she had a whole series to help out.

My picks of the most developed clients are Charlotte Johansson,Shea Rodowsky and the Barrett's. The others are all over the place.
