An illuminating peek inside the writing process of the mysterious Vicki Berger Erwin, this scintillating episode takes you where no other Baby-Sitters Club criticism has ever dared: Into the eye of the furious storm that is created when a BSC ghostwriter at the top of her abilities is unshackled and given free reign to make art that will change us forever. Anyway, this art has Mary Anne in it, and weirdly, Edgar Allen Poe, and also lots of birds and if there are any bird scientists out there, we desperately need your help.
