the idea of a woman who wears pants being radical/notable is hilarious to me. another reference to kristy's grandmother nannie as a woman who "wears pants and goes bowling" (this was also stated in Kristy's Mystery Admirer). also this description of him is funny: "he's kind of round and jolly, with a big, bushy mustache that he twirls around his finger whenever he's pleased with something." d I thought of dionysus in The Lightning Thief. she doesn't quit, wins the writing competition, and gives her siblings a fun day to make up for being a jerk and acting resentful of them earlier in the book.

she even considers quitting the baby-sitters club to make more time for writing (and because she blames herself for a dumb baby-sitting accident in which buddy barrett hurts himself). she barely has any time to write, though, because she keeps having to care for her younger siblings. In this installment by ghostwriters Jahnna Beecham and Malcolm Hillgartner, mallory wants to enter a writing competition in school.
