The hit series is back, to charm and inspire another generation of baby-sitters!
Mary Anne should never have thrown away that chain letter she got in the mail. Ever since she did, bad things have been happening--to everyone in the Baby-sitters Club. With Halloween coming up, Mary Anne's even more worried--what kind of spooky thing will happen next?Then Mary Anne finds a new note in her mailbox: Wear this bad-luck charm, it says. OR ELSE. Mary Anne has to do what the note says. But who sent the charm? And why send it to Mary Anne? If the BSC doesn't solve this mystery soon, their bad luck might never stop!The best friends you'll ever have--with classic BSC covers and a letter from Ann M. Martin!
I counted this for the 52 book club challenge’s prompt “a plot similar to another book”, with the other book being “Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls” as they’re both Halloween books, although this one has a lot of Logan drama in it so really the other book should have been “Logan Likes Mary Anne!”. Oh well, I don’t think it matters that much. This book had intrigue! Mystery! Bullying! Halloween! A dance! Also it had Mary Anne who was my favorite BSC member besides Mallory. Four and a half stars.
