Again, nothing mentioned. So March/April of their 2nd 6th/8th grade year
Plot
SMS is having a "Young Authors Day" where an author comes and talks to the school and there is a writing contest. Mallory decides to enter under the "Best Overall Story" category, but has trouble finding time to write between the BSC and her needy family. So she decides to go on strike, refusing to take on new babysitting jobs and refusing to help out at home. Her family rolls with it, as does the BSC, who allow her to take two weeks off from baby-sitting. Mallory then writes her story, wins, and then realizes she was kind of a bitch to everyone who knows her. So she takes her siblings out for an adventure day and everyone loves each other again. The end.
Oh, and her parents realize they need to stop using her as free labor and give her a "Mallory" day where she can do whatever she wants. She goes to the mall and a movie and takes Jessi with her.

Takeaways
SMS literally just had an "authors" day in the last book - remember, MaryAnne got grouped with Logan and three authors came to speak and Cokie got embarrassed? That was one book ago.
Mallory is in some special writing class at school, and she clearly has a big crush on her teacher. I think it's one of those situations where someone is really good at what they do and really passionate about it, and that makes them attractive.
The Young Authors Day is on a Saturday, and somehow everyone in Stoneybrook goes and the middle school is packed. Um. What?
On the day when Mallory takes her brothers and sisters on an adventure (which seems like a LOT of work for someone who bitches about how busy she is), they first stop at the Barrett's and play with them for awhile, and then they are like whelp, see ya later. I'm sure the Barrett kids were like WTF, I wanna continue on with your adventure.
I realized during this book that Mallory was handwriting this story out. How annoying.
When Mallory explains to the BSC that she has this huge writing project to do, they act all pissy (well, mostly Kristy acts pissy) and is all like "we all have to be available to our clients". Um. It's a fucking Baby-Sitters Club and Mallory is 11. Stop acting like this is a major publicly traded corporation. Let Mallory take a leave of absence and shut the fuck up about it.

Best character
Probably Jessi, because she deals with Mallory being a huge c-u-next-tuesday during the entire book, but stays supportive and then helps her with this all day long boring ass adventure with her siblings.

Worst character
I honestly don't know. Mallory is a b, but she comes around. Maybe Kristy bc she needs to recognize she runs a fucking babysitting club, not a Fortune 500 company.
