Ann M. Martin's Dear Reader Letter
Dear Reader,
Logan Likes Mary Anne is not only the first romance in the Baby-sitters Club series, but it introduces Logan Bruno, the first boy member of the BSC. I thought it would be interesting if Mary Anne, the quietest and shiest member, was the first to have a steady boyfriend, so I created Logan. Since most of my relatives are from Louisville, Kentucky, I decided that was the city Logan would move from. It was while I was writing this book that I realized a year had passed in the lives of the BSC characters. Mary Anne was the last of the original club members to turn thirteen, and the series was still going strong. So my editors and I decided that the characters would have to remain this age. Looking back now, I realize this was a good decision. If the girls had continued to get older, they would be college graduates by now! Instead, they’re in middle school forever.
