ISBN 0590435124 - As always, Martin's BSC book #4 lives up to the rest of the series. One of the things that make this series so good has been the timelessness of the situations and for the first time, I found a date-indicating mention in a BSC book! When Dawn mentions that she's got a VCR, as if that was a big deal, it was the first and only such clue I've found so far.

The BSC falls apart, leaving timid Mary Anne in an awkward situation. She wants to make up, but the others don't even want to speak to one another. Worse, she's being mature and responsible and her single father still treats her like a baby! Both of those problems leave her needing to stand up for herself - a big change for her. When new girl in town, Dawn, comes along, Mary Anne takes the first step, making a friend on her own. And when Jenny Prezzioso has to be rushed to the hospital and Mary Anne can't reach an adult for help, her take-charge solution earns her father's respect. Can feeling confident about herself help Mary Anne save the BSC before it's too late?

For fans who will read anything Martin writes, the mention of Mrs. Porter, aka Morbidda Destiny from Karen's Baby-Sitters Little Sister #1 is a cute wink. Read this series, in order or not - they're worth every minute.

Mary Anne has never been a leader of the Baby-sitters Club. She's left that up to Kristy...or Claudia...or Stacey. But now there's a big fight among the four friends, and Mary Anne doesn't have them to depend on anymore.
It's bad enough when she's left alone at the lunch table at school. But when she has to baby-sit a sick child without any help from the club members, Mary Anne knows it's time to take charge.
The Baby-sitters Club is going to fall apart unless somebody does something-fast. Maybe it's time for Mary Anne to step in and save the day!
