Intro Quote [ ] Dear Reader,
So many of you wrote suggesting that Logan Bruno deserved a story of his own, that I decided to take your advice. Here is a special edition BSC book, a story about Logan. I hope you enjoy it! — Ann M Martin
Back Cover Summary [ ] Like lots of guys, Logan enjoys baby-sitting. And being an associate member of the BSC means he can sit when he wants to, and still have time for Mary Anne and sports.
But now the Baby-sitters really need Logan. Logan wouldn't mind taking on the extra baby-sitting jobs, but he's busy trying out for the track team. And the jocks are giving Logan a hard time about hanging out with girls and babies.
Logan doesn't want to let the Baby-sitters down. But he's tired of being picked on!
Summary [ ] The members of the SMS Football Team tease Logan about him being part of a baby-sitting club.
Logan is also worrying about track tryouts while the BSC participates in the Stoneybrook Health Fair .
Subplot [ ] Dawn is absent from the book because Jeff Schafer had ruptured his appendix. She and Sharon Spier leave for California to be with him. Logan is left to step in and take her place for a few weeks.

In many books, Claudia is said to be thin, healthy, and zit-free, despite her love of junk food. But in chapter 4 of this book, Claudia tells the BSC that she once had her blood pressure taken, and she was told to eat healthier food.
Ben Hobart is said to be 12 years old, although in other books it’s said he’s 11, like Mallory and Jessi In chapter 4, Kristy calls Sharon “Mrs. Schafer.” But she changed her last name to Spier after she married Richard . Trivia [ ] Shannon Kilbourne is noted to have too many commitments to be a temporary member until she takes over in Dawn's Big Move .This is the first time Logan Bruno narrates a story, this is followed by Logan Bruno, Boy Baby-sitter .
Dawn returns in chapter 14.
Claudia says her dad told her that she has O type blood, and Stacey says Claudia is the universal donor. But this is only true if Claudia is O negative (as opposed to being O positive). Gallery [ ]
