Ann M. Martin's writing BSC stuff again!

The Summer Before by Ann M. Martin
Hardcover: 224 pages
Publisher: Scholastic Inc. (April 1, 2010)

ISBN-13: 978-0545160933

Before there was the Baby-Sitters Club, there were four girls named Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, and Stacey McGill. As they start the summer before seventh grade (also before they start the BSC), each of them is on the cusp of a big change. Kristy is still hung up on hoping that her father will return to her family. Mary Anne has to prove to her father that she's no longer a little girl who needs hundreds of rules. Claudia is navigating her first major crush on a boy. And Stacey is leaving her entire New York City life behind...

...in order to find new friends in Stoneybrook, Connecticut.

The Summer Before . . . is a sweet, moving novel about four girls on the edge of something big - not just the Club that will change their lives, but also all the joys and tribulations of being twelve and thirteen.


Although I think it might be more interesting to read a book about the BSC into their high school years, I'll still DEFINITELY read this.

Bo got loose. He up and broke his damn porch line trying to chase one of our neighbor's dogs that they never put on a line. This was no one's fault, but I wish the parents would've just listened to me when I said not to put his ass outside.

It's too dark to go around chasing for him. So now I'm upset and will have to face the sad fact that my black Lab is running around in the dark where he'll probably get hit by a fucking car.


All because our STUPID NEIGHBORS don't obey the LEASH LAW.
