1. Claudia Kishi. She makes my 12 year old self make so much more sense to me.

Side note! I always thought poorly of Sweet Valley High, 90210, etc, for the way they portrayed teenagers as overconfident, stay-out-late-on-weekdays 20-somethings, and even had my issues with SBTB and the whole dancing-under-the-moonlight-with-hottt-bf (god, Kelly was ( Read more... )

No, BSC are my heroes too! I've just been reading this Claudia blog (http://www.whatclaudiawore.blogspot.com/) (ps it's ammmmaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzing) that got me re-obsessed with them. And look at this: http://whatclaudiawore.blogspot.com/2007/04/say-hello-to-your-friends-bsc-reading.html So, yeah, they're amazing. Not hating. It was just strange rereading these descriptions of BSC members and realizing how grown-up they were, and how it's so strange sitting in your bedroom at 12 reading about how these girls who should be your peers are extra-amazing and going on trips and are interesting, and not really able to live up to that image.

and I said to Rachel McAdams, I love your huge faux-fur leopard coat which you insist on wearing in +18 weather so that no one confuses you with a non-celebrity. Snap. No, I just helped her find something at my store. Whatever.

Oh man. I just know that if I move to Toronto all my celebrity dreams will come true.

Thank you for that amazing blog link. How fantastic. And now I totally get that they're your heroes too. And soo interesting about the young adult lit question. This stuff is endlessly fascinating to me - adults writing for young adults. Adults making shows/movies for young adults. I want to read every young adult book, preferably in a book club setting. And then write zines about which books kids should read and force them into childrens' hands on the street. And get their names and numbers so I can follow up.

I use to read entire BSC books in the space of an evening in Grade 3 and 4. It would be 3 am, but I just couldn't put it down.
