Biography
At Camp Mohawk, Logan earns a Hiawatha badge which means that he can do any water sport. In Book #109 Mary Anne to the Rescue, Logan's father decides that he should go to his old boarding school, Conant Academy, but with Mary Anne's help, Logan is able to persuade him not to make him go.
In Mary Anne and the Search for Tigger he was in danger of being kicked off the baseball team. He was acting off which made Mary Anne upset. He said that the coach was expecting more out of him and started to make mistakes because of that. Logan was getting nervous.
Logan mentions that one time he went camping with his family and got lost for ten minutes and freaked out in Logan's Story.
He skis over to the Pike house to bring Mary Anne Spier food when she and Mallory were baby-sitting. They didn't have enough to get through the storm.
Jessi notes that Logan’s audition had not gone too well in Starring the Baby-sitters Club!. He spoke his lines in a loud, flat monotone, barely pausing at commas or periods. He seemed to have forgotten the purpose of punctuation. His singing had not been much better. He could carry a tune okay, but that was about all. He kept messing up the words to “Wendy”. Instead of singing, “We have a mother! At last we have a mother!” he sang “We have another! At least we have another!” And for “Wendy’s waiting at the door, we won’t be lonely anymore,” he sang “Wind is wading on the floor, we won’t be lovely anymore.” He ends up getting the part of a pirate and ends up getting kicked out of the play after the director, Mr. Cheney, saw him goofing off during rehearsals. When he shouts mutiny he gets kicked off the play only to rejoin later on probation.
