OMG, Jessi’s got a wish! Because this is an Ann book, everyone’s wishes are heavily Disneyworld-focused. Ann also bravely raises some tough questions about tragic childhood illnesses, and then less bravely proceeds to answer exactly none of them. Meanwhile, we brainstorm activities for Aoife’s funeral and raise much-needed awareness of Simian Foamy Virus.

OMG, Mallory’s on strike! We were very excited at the title of this one but it turned out to be less about labour activism and more about time management skills. And the value of airing your familial grievances in a thinly-veiled tell-all memoir.

On today’s agenda: lawnmower-based punishments; grief counselling for mass extinction events; feels about eels; the Stoneybrook adults have the least convincing cover story yet; ACHAB; a terrible cocaine mishap; the triumphant return of Ridiculous Baby Name Of The Week; union-busting with scab children; crimes against the family photo album; the prisoner’s dilemma model of babysitting.

OMG, Stacey’s accused of being a jewel thief! And more importantly, this leads to financial problems for Claudia and she’s out for revenge! Meanwhile, the junior podcaster attempts to eat an entire box of staples.

On today’s agenda: Stacey cleans house; spicy Pepsi; digestive system DLC; the Ozymandias of footwear; a distressing scenario involving chicken livers; Karen sets the record straight; obstacles to horse ownership; shoe size trauma; important worldbuilding continuity; definitely offal.

OMG, Mary Anne wants Logan back! More importantly, though, she wants an A on her group project and nobody is going to get in the way of that. Not Logan, not Cokie, not a particularly exhausting B-plot.

OMG, there’s a Baby Parade! Kristy and the gang grapple with the age-old question “What if illegal daycare, but on a poorly-conceived parade float?" It's a difficult one to answer, because Ann categorically does not know what a float is. Meanwhile, we have an idea for a TV procedural that is going to make us all extremely rich.

On today’s agenda: Scrabble trauma; fun with asbestos; any number of babies can be too many babies; new frontiers in AI art; Claudia learns to weld; a bold editorial stance on pipe types; glamorous uses for leftover meatloaf; situations that are not enhanced by a cat; none of us can be invited anywhere; a sick burn on the memory of Mimi; Slim Peabody entertains Watson and only Watson; Charlie has a cathartic afternoon at the rubbish dump.
