The Baby-Sitters Club Wiki

Mind Your Own Business, Kristy! is the 107th book in The Baby-Sitters Club series by Ann M. Martin.

Back Cover Summary[]

Kristy's big brother Charlie is a good guy, helping her with the Krushers' Softball Klinic and driving her to BSC meetings. Kristy and Charlie get along great—until Angelica shows up. Kristy can tell Angelica is Trouble with a capital "T." But Charlie doesn't mind. In fact he's in love with her. Ew.

Ann M. Martin's Dear Reader Letter[]

Dear Reader,

Mind Your Own Business, Kristy! takes place during spring vacation. Kristy’s family isn’t going away, so Kristy plans Krusher Klinic for her softball team. When I was growing up, my family often visited our relatives over spring vacation. Sometimes we visited Louisville, Kentucky, to visit my father’s family. And sometimes we went to Florida to visit my mother’s parents. The trips were always lots of fun. My Florida grandparents lived across the street from a big lake. My sister and I could go fishing from their dock. Best of all, we kept our eyes peeled for alligators. They really did live in the lake!

Mom’s parents lived in Winter Park, which is very near Disney World. My sister and I had visited Disneyland when I was thirteen, and we loved it. Unfortunately for me, Disney World wasn’t completed until I was in college. So I didn’t get to visit it until I was an adult, and I was researching Baby-sitters on Board!, the first BSC Super Special. What a fun reason to visit Disney World for the first time.
