i think we should bring back the bsc books in a big way. the big comeback novel will be called "kristy and the mystery of the swine flu", in which kristy recruits the rest of the babysitters to tackle the swine flu epidemic (a very pertinent issue that is sure to grab the attention of american, canadian, and mexican audiences). sure there will be challenges along the way...like, for example, how they possess minimal credibility in the scientific world...middle school biology is just not going to cut it, even if mallory probably DID get straight a's. it's not her fault she has glasses and is thus stereotyped as the smart one, slash nerdo-4-lyfe. i know for a fact that claudia would not be able to contribute much, considering she was flunking her class in dawn and the haunted house. *sidenote, i don't know why dawn was the protagonist here considering claudia ended up being at the center of the mystery. actually, this title makes little to no sense considering there was no haunted house involved, just a crazy old cat lady who they all assumed was a witch after jumping to conclusions.* but back to the pending novel. mallory will clearly be the one doing all the research. dawn will be out saving the pigs or whatever it is californians with blonde hair (slash californians) do all day, while claudia will be designing fashionable swine flu masks to sell at the arts and crafts fair like in claudia's missing jewels. stacey will be baking cakes and cookies that look like pigs, aka things she can't eat since she has diabetes, to raise money for research. kristy will be out bossing people around and stealing some of the research money to buy herself a new baseball mitt. meanwhile maryanne will be quietly commenting on how sorry she feels for everyone who has swine flu, and getting shut-down on all her ideas by the rest of the babysitters. together they will come up with an unlikely solution inspired by the rodowsky kids. now, i'm not saying i have a real solution to the swine flu, i'm just saying it might not hurt to check the healing properties of a little finger paint and glitter. the novel will be available for purchase through the scholastic book company in the fall of '09. oh, and i forgot, a couple of the babysitters might catch the flu (i'm not saying who, but i'm sure you can guess), and thus will be permanently quarantined. to make up for their abscence, i'll introduce some guest-star babysitters, probably mischa barton and lindsay lohan seeing as how their careers are tanking and they'll take any work they can find. despite my dislike for mischa, and semi-dislike for lindz, i figure i'll at least save $$$ on food expenses by hiring them. i plan on paying them in cigarettes and black nail polish.
