Again, nothing mentioned. So March/April of their 2nd 8th grade year
Plot
The 8th graders have a special literary project due, where they are put in groups of four and assigned an author to study. Guess who MaryAnne gets this study? Her favorite author Megan Rineheart. Guess who she gets to study with? Pete Black, Cokie Mason (her enemy) and LOGAN. who she also happens to still be in love with and she wants him back.
When the group gets going, it becomes clear Cokie is mildly stupid. And she has no intention of doing anything. But to everyone’s surprise, Logan falls into her trap and starts dating her, also neglecting the project. MaryAnne and Pete work without them.
Then they get a surprise - Megan Rineheart, along with two other authors, are coming to the school to hear the presentations on themselves. Then Logan finally wakes the fuck up and realizes how dumb he’s being. He calls MaryAnne and starts working with her and Pete. Their presentation goes great, except it’s painfully obvious Cokie did nothing and she fails.
Logan takes MaryAnne out for dinner to thank her. They decide to get back together. The end.
Takeaways
Cokie is the worst, it she also kind of has balls of steel. She just kinda bulldozes Logan into dating her.
MA develops so much confidence by the end of the book. She’s all like “the old MA would doubt Logan would call the next day. But the new MA knew he would. So I wasn’t even surprised when he did.”
There is literally no mention of the other babysitters groups or projects in his book. I’m surprised Kristy didn’t end up with Alan Gray.
There is a whole side story about how one of the baby-sitting families, the Korman’s, are scared of their toilet. It’s pretty stupid.
Best character
New, badass MA
Worst character
Duh, Cokie.
