I remember liking her more in the very short-lived TV series than in the books. *shrug* And I remember the title of that book!

And I just wikied her spin-off series. Um, wow. That's some...heavier material then the BSC ever tackled, if I'm recalling correctly.

[shortysc22]

OMG the TV show!! I loved that show and taped it so I could watch it over and over. Now the movie was a whole 'nother issue.

The spinoff series was so different and I only read the first three or four books.

Really? There was that book where one of the girls in Jesse's dance class was anorexic. And Jesse was...11?

And there was Keep Out Claudia where the new kids who just moved in were racist because their parents were racist. Meanwhile, the BCS were throwing a neighbourhood production of Fiddler on the Roof...

God, Keep Out Claudia. I loved that one because of the play subplot, but then like... what was with them concluding (and turning out to be correct) that since the mom was racist, it was only obvious that she also hated kids with divorced parents and/or big families?

[kayleen_san]

...I am going to have to dig thru my collection and see if I have this one, cause I completely forgot about this one.

[anarchicq]

It's one of the first ones. No later than 20 but I'm tempted to say it's like #7 or so.

[(Anonymous)]

It's #56: Keep Out, Claudia! #7 is also a Claudia book but totally different - it's the one where Claudia's grandmother has a stroke.

Oh, Lordy. I cried buckets reading the book where her grandmother died and Claudia and her older sister finally have bonding moments

[cloudsinvenice]

It's not that the BSC concluded all that based on the racist prejudice; there was a scene where the first babysitter to encounter the kids watched TV with the children, and the kids were ready with a snarky, bigoted comment about every character who appeared on screen. Like, the TV showed some Asian kids and they were giggling about the kids' eyes, which the babysitter couldn't fathom. And there may have been something about a black kid as well.

And there was a point when Mallory came up in conversation - the babysitter said something like, "My friend Mallory has seven brothers and sisters!" and the babysitting charges said, all smoothly and knowledgably, "Ohhh, she must be Catholic!" Again, the babysitter was all, "...the fuck?" Possibly the babysitter was Kristy and divorce came up due to the kids asking her about her siblings/home life? I really got the impression in that book that bigotry had been an unknown concept in the BSC kids everyday lives/Stoneybrook in general, until that family showed up.

[kayleen_san]

I don't remember the anorexic book. And the only death I remember is Mimi's (though, there were a lot of one-parent kids due to death, if I remember correctly, like Mary Anne).

The spin off seemed for an older audience, it seems. Which I honesty never read, only knew about in brief passing. Most of the BSC books I read were the ones I could access at my local library, and while they did have a TON of them, not all of them.

[anarchicq]

I think it was called Jessie's Secret or something.
