Probably Snowbound, although I only vaguely remember it now. I read that over and over in fourth grade, on account of it being the only BSC book in the classroom...

Baby-Sitters Summer Vacation was most definitely my favorite! Perhaps it stands out as my favorite because I didn't much care for Baby-Sitters On Board and my sister and I didn't have more than a couple of the Super Specials.

"Baby-sitters' Island Adventure" is the one I most clearly remember, so there must be a reason. Perhaps because it was just so incredulous? Even as a naive preteen who bought into a storyline about a bunch of girls who never left junior high, I still found it fairly impossible that any of them could survive on a deserted island for any amount of time--with kids, no less.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a toss up between Island Adventure which was just totally AWESOME and BSC in the USA. I had the version with the shiny silver cover and that's how I learned you should stay in the bathroom if there's a tornado on the rampage....oh BSC you taught me everything I know

ReplyDeleteSuper Special 14: BSC in the USA, hands down.
ReplyDeleteThey were roadtripping cross country in two RVs (HAHAHA) so all the babysitters get to pick one place to stop at. And Kristy says something like: "Claud chose the Metropolitan Museum of Art but knowing her I bet she had a hard time deciding between this and Hershey Park."

When I was young, it was Winter Vacation, I still don't know why. Now, I prefer Snowbound, I think it's one of the most realistic of the SS.

Tough question... I am still fond of Super Special 3: Baby-sitters' Winter Vacation. It was one of the more plausible plots and despite living within an hour drive of New England, I have never spent an amount of time in a ski lodge. Or been to Hawaii. Or driven across the US.
ReplyDeletelizzyluu(at)hotmail(dot)com
Sea City Here We Come! though seemingly less glamourous than some of the other specials (how did they manage to get to Hawaii, California, a US roadtrip AND Europe during their busy 8th grade babysitting schedule?!) but I remember aching to be a mother's help at a beach; to me that had to be the best job ever. Until I got it, plus 6 years of mosquito bites, sunburns, and summer flus with my own version of the Pike family.

My favorite was Super Special #2, Baby-sitters' Summer Vacation. My best friend and I used the inside front cover of my copy to write dating advice to one another, despite the fact that we were 8 years old and had never actually been on any dates. My favorite tip from my friend was to "wear stockings and high heels," because that seemed like something Stacy would do.

My favorite Super Special is a tie between "California Girls" (if only for home state reasons) and "New York, New York" because of Claida vs. Mallory for the art class. My email is [email protected].
ReplyDeleteAll you need for this post to be PBS-Ed to the max is to end it with "and thanks to contributions from viewers like you". That actually would be a nice touch.

ReplyDeleteHard to pick a favorite Super Special-- probably a toss-up between Babysitters on Board (oh the heyday of Pre-Mallory. Plus, Claudia persuades herself that a rock star is her secret admirer) and California Girls, where Mallory gets that horrendous makeover.
Definitely "Starring the Babysitter's Club" - partly because I love Peter Pan and because that's the one where Dawn becomes Miss Feminism and tries to rewrite Peter Pan, right? And Jessi throws a bitch fit because she isn't the star?? Good stuff :)
ReplyDelete#14, of course! Nothing compares to "BSC in the USA!" The sheer level of adventure they managed to pack into one book-- geez.

Winter Vacation! Ski lodge vacation + "disaster" that keeps them all there longer, and Mary-Anne's ridonkulous letters to Logan make it a winner.

My favorite was definitely Aloha, Babysitters. I liked that it focused on Claudia for a big part, and gave her a real, emotional story, because as much as I love the descriptions of what she wears, after a while it became all her character was. This book showed that she had more depth and spirit.
ReplyDelete[email protected]
"Aloha, Babysitters!" Not to be a walking stereotype, but I wasn't a Mallory fan and I sort of loved that she couldn't go. Also, I've had a lifelong habit of reading books in the bathtub and the first and only book I've ever managed to drop in the bathwater was "Aloha, Babysitters!" And OF COURSE it was a library book so I had to shell out like $15 or something. I still have it!

I still have Babysitters' Summer Vacation and New York, New York! on my bookshelf. And yes, sometimes I still read them.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite was Snowbound, not because it stands out as having any merit above and beyond the other volumes but because it was the only Super Special I received in a stack of other BSC books when I was stuck in bed with the flu. Weird how a fever can enhance a tale of thirteen year old babysitters surviving a blizzard.
My absolute favorite Super Special was "Sea City, Here We Come!" I must've read that one over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI also really liked the one where they go to camp and the one where they go visit Dawn in CA. Come to think of it, how did 13 year olds have so much disposable income to spend on vacations?
Baby-Sitters on Board, without a doubt. My mother bought it for me before summer vacation in 1995- I know because it's written on the inside cover- and I read and reread that book hundreds of times. As much as I love their road trip around the US, or their trip to California, or when they got MAROONED ON A ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF CONNECTICUT, I loved the cruise/Disney combo best.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite was definitely California Girls! I was just telling my roomie yesterday about Claudia going on that awkward date with that guy she met on the beach, and having to eat snails because she accidentally ordered them. Plus, they get to visit Derek Masters on set! Mallory experiments with makeup, Mary Anne bonds with the asthmatic kid, and Stacey is featured on the cover in a bikini that I hope to God no thirteen-year-old's mother would ever let her wear. And isn't that the one where she gets in the accident?! The plot twists just keep happening!

Island adventure, because if Claudia could survive on an island, I felt so could I. as a child with a seriously overactive imagination, this, and everything else that happened to the babysitters, seemed like a teenaged inevitability and i was calmed by the skills i picked up from this book. ha.

ReplyDeleteI loved BSC in the USA - even though parts of it were completely ridiculous (like any sane father would take all those kids on a cross-country road trip, let alone TWO fathers). Mr. Schafer runs out of gas in the Badlands (hilarious); Abby is obsessed with Elvis (random); Jessi has a weird, sobering experience on a Southern plantation, (interesting, but a drag); they get stuck in a tornado (cliche); Stacey doesn't get that there is more than one coffee shop in Seattle (FAIL); and Kristy ends up seeing her dad in a weird, contrived situation. I do love how Mary Anne's grandma tells Mr. Schafer off (he gets uber annoying), and irritating Dawn, who wants to find a "ghost town" ends up in a tourist trap.

Too many! This is difficult to figure out! I think I love the Snowbound one most, though, Sea City, here we come is awesome too. Oh! And Shipwrecked! ACK! TOO MANY SUPER SPECIALS. I wish I had read the USA one, but by the time that came out, I had moved on to Christopher Pike.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Camp Mohawk Super Special! I think it was the second one. I went to sleep away camp every summer and always daydreamed that next would be as amazing as the ones the BSC had. (megan DOT kurzeka AT gmail DOT com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite and most-read BSC Super Special was Starring the Baby-Sitters Club. I loved the drama between Krisy and Jessi over the part of Peter Pan, the drama between Stacy and Sam, and how Claudia got to be the set designer.

omg this entire thread has been a walk down memory lane! I LOVED the super series best..I mean HELLO, the handwriting! I was a font junkie back then, even without a personal computer. I love them all, really. Island Adventure literally scared me into thinking that I too one day would be stuck on a deserted island...Snowbound also made me live real terror. I lusted after summer camp (still haven't forgiven my parents) and a disney cruise (also still on my bucket list) Reading these comments made me realize how many girls had similar yearnings based on the completely unrealistic travelings of the BSC. Thanks, Ann M. I guess the ultimate winner is Sea City, because its a trip I actually HAVE taken. Love those ragtag Pikes (hello Weasleys?)

ReplyDeleteSea city! My favorite.

Babysitters on Board.
ReplyDeleteI was and still am inexplicably fascinated with cruise ships. I've never been on one, but one day I will, and I will bring my copy of Baby Island and read it on the top deck and pretend to be Vanessa Pike.

California Girls! Mallory blowing all of her funds on hair and make-up was epic!

My favorite has to be #1, because it has my favorite Claudia outfit in it.

Babysitters' Summer Vacation all the way! I always dreamed of being a camp councelor when I was younger. I wanted to be just like Kristy!

Wow, this is really hard. I think it's a toss-up between "New York, New York!" and "Starring the Baby-sitters Club" - I loved the Jessi romance and the awesome night on the town that the BSC goes on for the former, and the latter was just a drama romp.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do have a soft spot for "Baby-sitters at Shadow Lake" - loved Claudia's chutzpah in decorating that little boat for the boat show, and how the Stacey-Sam relationship finally happened.

All of the specials are so action-packed it's hard to choose, but I'd have to say California Girls due to Kristy fighting with the We Love Kids Clubs and Stacey hanging with the surfers who I always thought sounded way cooler than the BSC.

"Sea City, Here We Come!"
ReplyDeleteI, too, vacationed on the decrepit shores of New Jersey.

ReplyDeleteI always thought it was crazy that they got stranded and were all resourceful at 13 and 10 (dawn's little brother jeff)

uh that's an easy one - Baby-Sitter's On Board! I mean do the others even compare? I would reread that one in a second (and probably read it about 100 times in my life)

ReplyDeleteFortuitously, トリーバーチ ブーツ and shoes put together simple relaxation by using splendor plus design and style, building boots and shoes that you may dress yourself in upright by using self-importance plus without the need of suffering. You may perform and also jolt building consumption of a Tory Burch footwear. $ $ $ $. Such as, repair a person's トリーバーチ ミッドヒールs while in the time frame wanted, cleanse a person's トリー バーチ and shoes once in a while, et cetera.
