SuitabookThe Baby-Sitters Club - Books #85-#88

- Reading
- The four stories are separately outlined, so you could read one at a time and pause afterwards to see which character’s choices or relationships your reader wants to discuss.
- Themes
- Friendship and changing plans: Dawn decides to move back to California permanently, and she and Mary Anne have a major argument. The outline establishes disagreement around a significant change, but not how either friend is presented or what follows.
- Responsibility and friendship: Stacey’s new friends are described as irresponsible and as getting her into trouble. This raises a question about choices among friends; the outline does not show how the story judges those choices.
- Worth knowing
- A character is described as becoming depressed when her father travels for work; another story includes a major argument between friends. How these feelings and conflicts are depicted is not clear.
