I really love the Pike kids and all of the drama that unfolds around them wherever they go (poor Margo), and tbh the kids (and a Stacey appearance!) saved this one from being a little too silly for me. Why wouldn't Kristy's mom and Watson tell the kids they're trying to adopt?

Stacey comes back to Stoneybrook for the weekend, missing Mother's Day with her own mom. So that she can help all the baby-sitters take 21 kids to a carnival on the Saturday before Mother's Day, for free, so that the moms can have a "day off". The dads "help" by dropping the kids off at Claudia's, and some baby-sit their own babies.
Then, Kristy's mom and Watson adopt a 2-year-old, giving their family less than a day's warning. Because 6 kids definitely isn't enough.

bibliotequeish's review against another edition
As a kid my best friends sister had the whole BSC series on a book shelf in her room. I thought she was so grown up. And I envied this bookshelf. And would often poke my head into that room just to look at it.
And when I read BSC, I felt like such a grown up.
And while I might have still been a little too young to understand some of the issues dealt with in these books, I do appreciated that Ann M. Martin tackled age appropriate issues, some being deeper than others, but still important.

3 stars. Eh, my least favorite book in the series so far. It felt like such filler until the weird adoption at the end. The only things I liked was that my girl Stacey came down from New York for the weekend, and the scenes with Mimi (because that book is coming up soon and I’m terrified to get to it). Other than that this was not an interesting read. I will never understand why Kristy’s mom and Watson adopted Emily Michelle when they have six kids already. But big families like that give me hives. Too many damn kids. The whole adoption process was bizarre and I didn’t really understand it.

One of the better BSC books sees a lot of activity and with a decent ending about adoption.
it is a shame that the publishers decided that the kids needed to stay the same age forever, it detracts from what could have been a brilliant way tom see them grow, introduce new characters and have the series evolve and change.
Anyway, publishers are usually hopeless and lack creativity so it is no surprise.
