California Diaries is a Darker and Edgier Spin-Off series of The Babysitters Club, consisting of 15 books which rolled out between 1997 and 1999.The series is anchored by former BSC member Dawn Schaffer soon after she moves back to California and expands the universe to include her friends—some of whom we've met before (Sunny Winslow and Maggie Blume) and others who are new (Amalia Vargas and Christopher "Ducky" McRae), with the Framing Device that the private school asks the students to keep diaries through the year; each character narrates three books each, all told in first person journals.Although the series shared its ghost-writers with the original BSC series (Peter Lerangis, Jeanne Betancourt and Nola Thacker all penned novels), it's much more mature in scope overall compared to the original series, dealing with themes such as depression and suicide, eating disorders, abusive relationships, alcoholism, and cancer. The books also tend to contain plots that don't (or rarely) resolve smoothly; at the end; for example, Sunny and Dawn's fight is partially resolved in one book but things are clearly still tense with them for some time after.The main conflict of the series arises when the eighth grade is merged with the high school; Dawn, Sunny, Maggie and Jill (who quickly breaks off from the group) go from being the oldest in their school to the youngest. One of the other major events driving the plot is the plight with Sunny's mom, Betsy, who was introduced as having lung cancer in the original series.This series contains examples of: | |
