Martin and published by Scholastic between 1986 and 2000, that sold 176 million copies. Martin wrote the first 35 books in the series, but the subsequent novels were written by ghostwriters, such as Peter Lerangis and many uncredited others. The BSC series is about a group of friends, girls between 11 and 13 years old, who live in the fictional, suburban town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut. These friends run a local babysitting service called the `` Baby - Sitters Club. '' The original four members were Kristy ( founder and president ), Mary Anne ( secretary ), Claudia ( vice-president ), and Stacey ( treasurer ), but the total number of BSC members varies throughout the series. The books are told in first - person narrative from the perspective of the character named in the title who will confront common problems such as illness, sibling rivalry, peer conflicts, jealousy, and parents ' divorce and remarriage.

She contacted Ann M. Martin, who took the general idea of a babysitter 's club, and created the characters, plots, and settings for the series. It was initially planned as a four - book series, but after the first four novels were moderately successful, Scholastic ordered two more, followed by twelve more as the series grew in popularity. By the time the sixth novel was published, the first printing was up to 100,000 copies. When publishing ceased in 2000, there had been 213 novels published in the series. Of these, Martin estimates she herself wrote from 60 to 80 of the novels. Structure of the novels With the exception of Super Specials and Super Mysteries, the novels are written and narrated from one character 's point of view. The novels generally follow this format : Chapter 1 : Introduction to self ; beginning of plot. Chapter 2 : Description of club and members. Chapter 3 - 15 : Continuation of plot and conclusion, usually accompanied with a subplot on the side. Main characters Kristin `` Kristy '' Amanda Thomas Club position : President Appearance : Shortest BSC member, brown hair, brown eyes ; usual clothing is jeans, a turtleneck, a sweater, and sneakers Birthday : August 20 Age : 13 Kristy is known for her great ideas as well as her bossiness and a big mouth that can occasionally get her in trouble. The idea for `` The Baby - Sitters Club '' came to Kristy when her mother was having trouble finding a babysitter for her younger brother David Michael. She felt sorry for David Michael, as well as her mother. In a `` flash '', as she calls it, Kristy had her `` great idea '' to form the Baby - Sitters Club. Kristy formed the club with herself, Claudia, her best friend Mary Anne, and Stacey as founding members. Kristy usually wears jeans and a T - shirt ( in the winter, a turtleneck and, if needed, a sweater ), sneakers, and sometimes a baseball cap with a collie on it, in memory of the family dog, Louie, who was put to sleep in Kristy and the Snobs. She loves sports, and coaches a softball team for small children called Kristy 's Krushers, which includes many of the club 's sitting charges. Kristy comes from a large family, composed of her mother, Elizabeth, her stepfather, Watson Brewer ( her biological father walked out of her family when Kristy was six years old ), her two older brothers, Charlie ( 17 ) and Sam ( 15 ), her younger brother, David Michael ( 7 ), her stepsister Karen ( 7 ), her stepbrother Andrew ( 5 ) her grandmother, Nannie, and her sister adopted from Vietnam, Emily Michelle ( 2 ).

She also vowed never to get her ears pierced due to being traumatized by almost having her ears pierced by a fellow camper at Camp Mohawk. Author Ann M. Martin said that she based the character of Mary Anne on herself. Mary Anne and Kristy have been best friends since childhood and were neighbors until Kristy 's mother married Watson Brewer. Her mother died from cancer when Mary Anne was a baby, and her father Richard ( who is a lawyer ) was very overprotective until he married Sharon Schafer ( Dawn Schafer 's mother ) and loosened up. She is very sensitive, shy, is a good listener, and does not like being the center of attention. In Logan Likes Mary Anne ! Mary Anne starts going out with Logan Bruno ( who looks like her favorite actor, the fictional Cam Geary ), and is the first member who has a steady boyfriend. Mary Anne has a stepsister named Dawn, a stepbrother named Jeff, and a kitten named Tigger.

Stacey has diabetes, and has been hospitalized several times as a result ; in Kristy 's Great Idea, she tried to hide this from the others because her classmates in New York teased her because of it, but she eventually told them.

Stacey leaves Stoneybrook when her father is transferred back to New York City but returns after her parents ' divorce.

Stoneybrook Stoneybrook is a fictional suburban town in the state of Connecticut. It is the hometown of many of the characters in both The Baby - Sitters Club series and the Baby - Sitters Little Sister series as well. The real life hamlet of Stony Brook, New York is on the north shore of Long Island, just across the Long Island Sound from Connecticut. The town is likely near Stamford, Connecticut. Several adults in the town commute to Stamford, and Jessi Ramsey takes her ballet classes there. Stoneybrook 's known public schools include Stoneybrook Elementary, Stoneybrook Middle School, Kelsey Middle School, and Stoneybrook High School. Private schools include Stoneybrook Academy ( which Karen Brewer and several other charges attended ) and Stoneybrook Day School, which is where associate member Shannon Kilbourne attends.
