Answer: 1986

The series boasts more than 213 novels in total, the first 35 of which were written by Ann M. Martin before being ghostwritten from then on. Peter Lerangis is the best known author out of the many that tried their hand at writing this series.
2. In Book 12 of the series, "Claudia and the New Girl", a new student tries to convince Claudia to quit the Baby-sitters Club. Name that girl!

Answer: Ashley Wyeth

Yes, Ashley Wyeth was the new girl in a town - a transfer student from Chicago was a member of the exclusive Keyes Art Society. On seeing how talented Claudia is at art, she begins to dedicate all her time to her. Claudia begins neglecting her BSC friends and school work before finally realising that she's not ready to commit all her time to Ashley and art, and reconciles with the club.
3. What is the name of the island that the Baby-sitter's are stranded on in "The Baby-sitters' Island Adventure"?

Answer: Nine O' Clock Island

In this fourth book in the "Specials" series, Dawn and Claudia have been taking sailing lessons, and they decide to have a little race. It ends in a tie, and for their rematch, they agree to race to an island a few hours away and have a picnic. However, a storm hits while they're racing, and they end up stranded on Nine O' Clock Island. They safely return home later!
4. What is the first name of the teacher Stacey falls for in "Stacey's Big Crush"?

Answer: Wesley

Wesley Ellenburg is a 22 year old student teacher in her maths class who she falls head over heels in love with. Eventually, she decides to write him a poem, which makes Wes very uncomfortable. In the end, he tells her he thinks she's great but nothing can ever happen between them. Stacey is left heartbroken...until the next book!
5. Which of the following is Claudia never described as wearing?

Answer: Rubik's Cube earrings

Yes, Claudia was well-known at Stoneybrook Middle School for her crazy and eclectic outfits. Neon, side ponytails, homemade earrings, oversized shirts, Claudia really was a free spirit and expressed it through her clothing. Although never mentioned as wearing Rubik's Cube earrings, they would be very appropriate for her!
6. In Book 102, "Mary-Anne and the Little Princess", Mary Anne befriends a British girl called Victoria whose parents buy a house in Stoneybrook as they work for which organisation?

Answer: United Nations

Victoria's family - the Kents - encourage her to hang out with Americans, so they hire good old Mary Anne to be her "companion". The little girl finally confides in sensitive and kind Mary Anne that she doubts her parents' love for her - heavy stuff coming from an eight year old.

A little piece of trivia - Ann M. Martin actually based the character of Mary Anne on herself!
7. BSC member Jessi's celebrations of Christmas and what other festivity are overshadowed by her brother's car crash in "Happy Holidays, Jessi"?

Answer: Kwanzaa

Poor Jessi is very much looking forward to both Christmas and Kwanzaa, a chance to celebrate her Afro-American heritage, when her little brother Squirt is involved in a car crash. The festive period is dampened by worry over Squirt before he is finally able to come home just in time for Kwanzaa. The family celebrate their unity and all their petty squabbling is resolved for now!
8. In "Don't Give Up Mallory", what is the name of the children's literature class that she starts taking at school?

Answer: Short Takes

Mallory is very excited about having the chance to join this literature class at school but, unfortunately, she learns the marks are based on participation. Being a shy girl, she is reluctant to speak up, even more so when she notices the teacher favours the boys in class. Eventually, she plucks up the courage to confront him; things improve slightly and she even manages a B+.
9. Is there is a character in the BSC book series known simply as T-Jam?

Answer: Yes

Unbelievably there is! T-Jam is the name of the 'bad boy' that Logan starts hanging out with in "Logan Bruno, Boy Sitter". This gang is bad news and, when things start going missing from the locker room, Logan finally comes to his senses. This book was written as a Reader's Request to find out more about Mary Anne's boyfriend.
10. In the late 1990s, the Babysitter's Club released a spin-off book series for older readers. Written in the style of first-person journals, this series' title included the name of a place close to the babysitters' hearts. What is the name of the series?

Answer: California Diaries

Yes, the answer is "California Diaries". This series focused on Dawn Schafer and her friends after her return to California. Fifteen novels were published, all dealing with darker themes and subjects such as anorexia, racism and sexual orientation, showing that to keep audiences in a modern world, Ann M. Martin had to move on from just picnics and punch!
