The tenth installment in Ann M. Martin’s iconic Baby-Sitters Club series is a big one for the baby-sitters! In Logan Likes Mary Anne!, we are introduced to new boy Logan Bruno — and his budding relationship with Mary Anne sends some major waves through the BSC. On Episode 152, Alli chats with a pair of Baby-Sitters Club experts about the many ways in which this book is significant in the overall BSC universe. They discuss the transition to eighth grade, queer anxiety throughout the series, Kristy’s entrepreneurial strength, surprise parties, mansplaining, weird standards for maturity, and so much more.
