About the author
Ann M. Martin
1,123 books3,085 followersAnn Matthews Martin was born on August 12, 1955. She grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, with her parents and her younger sister, Jane. After graduating from Smith College, Ann became a teacher and then an editor of children's books. She's now a full-time writer.
Ann gets the ideas for her books from many different places. Some are based on personal experiences, while others are based on childhood memories and feelings. Many are written about contemporary problems or events. All of Ann's characters, even the members of the Baby-sitters Club, are made up. But many of her characters are based on real people. Sometimes Ann names her characters after people she knows, and other times she simply chooses names that she likes.
Ann has always enjoyed writing. Even before she was old enough to write, she would dictate stories to her mother to write down for her. Some of her favorite authors at that time were Lewis Carroll, P. L. Travers, Hugh Lofting, Astrid Lindgren, and Roald Dahl. They inspired her to become a writer herself.
Since ending the BSC series in 2000, Ann’s writing has concentrated on single novels, many of which are set in the 1960s.
After living in New York City for many years, Ann moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York where she now lives with her dog, Sadie, and her cats, Gussie, Willy and Woody. Her hobbies are reading, sewing, and needlework. Her favorite thing to do is to make clothes for children.

De lo peor de la serie. Los niños le hacen bullying a un maestro hasta hacerlo renunciar y la moraleja es: "fue su culpa porque no se hacía respetar" (????). Como bonus: "está mejor que haya renunciado porque claramente no está hecho para ser maestro". Legit están culpando a la víctima y no hubo consecuencias para los bullies.

& so we continue the trend of really lame jessi books. in this one, jessi is taking a short takes course on computer programming. her teacher, mr. trout, does not know how to handle rowdy junior high students. the kids act up all the time, throwing spitballs, sassing him, failing to pay attention in class, passing notes--& hes does nothing to discipline them. even jessi gets into the act, joining in on that tired old prank where all the students drop their books at the same time. whenever jessi sees mr. trout around school, he is by himself, not joining in conversation with other teachers or acknowledging them when they say hello. he is a total loner with almost zero social skills. jessi even convinces herself for a while that he acts that way on purpose, to be funny. she finds it difficult to believe that anyone would ever really be that socially awkward.
one day, the kids play a prank in which they divest mr. trout of his bad toupee. they are very amused to discover that he is indeed bald. again, mr. trout does nothing to punish them or stick up for himself.
meanwhile, jessi has joined the committees that are organizing the sixth grade follies. the follies are an annual variety show performance in which the sixth graders attempt to elicit chuckles from the larger student body. the skits mostly seem to involve dressing up as teachers & parodying their appearances or mannerisms, which doesn't sound all that funny to me, but what do i know? i'm just going to cut to the chase here because this book drags like you wouldn't believe. the sixth graders think it would be funny to dress someone up like a romulan & have them say that they are mr. trout. apparently they think he looks like a romulan with his bald head. jessi is conflicted about this idea, but eventually decides to do it when she thinks about how well all the other teachers are taking their ribbings. she hopes mr. trout will also be able to laugh at himself.
can i just point out that they know the dude wears a rug? which means he is probably really insecure about being bald? which means he may not react all that well to a parody in which he is criticized specifically for looking ugly & bald? why exactly are all of the teachers & administrators at this middle school giving eleven-year-olds carte blanche to ridicule other people's appearances?
anyway, the follies happen, jessi's mr. trout impression gets huge laughs, the whole event is a massive success that raises lots of charity money for some foundation for deaf people & the performing arts, & mr. trout doesn't show up for school the next day. jessi's class has a sub named mr. bellafatto. one of the kids laughs at his name & mr. bellafatto assigns her double the homework. another kid throws a spitball & mr. bellafatto sends him to the principal's office. basically, mr. bellafatto takes no shit. & jessi realizes that he presents the material more clearly & she is understanding it better. no one understood anything mr. trout tried to teach. but still. jessi is concerned that her impersonation drove mr. trout away from the school. she talks to the principal about it, & he confirms that mr. trout has resigned & moved to vermont (in literally all of about twelve hours). he tells jessi that mr. trout was just not cut out to teach, & that her impersonation had nothing to do with it. um, i bet it had at least a little something to do with it. jessi starts a petition to have mr. trout asked back to the school, but only the other babysitters club members sign it. she ends up writing mr. trout a letter, apologizing for his impersonation & asking him to come back to teach. he actually writes back & explains that teaching is not his forte & he's decided to go to grad school instead. okay then.
that's the A-plot. seriously. that's it.
in the B-plot, a bunch of BSC charges hold their own follies to roast the members of the babysitters club. there's some good stuff. "mary anne" won't stop crying, "claudia" won't stop eating candy & tries to wear a clock as a hat, "kristy" yells everything in a drill sergeant voice, "dawn" only eats carrots. the babysitters love it & it makes jessi think about how mr. trout really should have loosened up & learned to laugh at himself. easy for her to say. she just got made fun of for doing ballet-themed stretching exercises. not exactly the same thing as being told you are ugly for a physical attribute over which you have no control.
in sum, kids are brats.

in this Peter Lerangis-ghostwritten book, jessi humiliates a middle-aged man. her short takes computer programming teacher, mr. trout, is the target of some pretty intense 6th-grade bullying. jessi's classmates pull the usual substitute teacher pranks (turning the desks around, dropping textbooks at the same time, etc.) but also some pretty cruel ones, like rube goldberg-ing a way to reveal that mr. trout wears a toupee. he is super awkward and lets them get away with everything because he obviously can't deal with confrontation. definitely not a dude who was made to be a teacher. meanwhile, the jessi is preparing to co-produce, choreograph, and star in the 6th grade follies, a play for which the premise is to embarrass faculty. she does a skit in which she pretends to be mr. trout as a klingon, and the next school day he has up and moved to vermont. jessi thinks it's her fault and petitions to get him back, but she finds out that he just straight up shouldn't be a teacher and is happier now.
highlights:
-is this the first appearance of the dollies (dolly one and dolly two, two sms teachers who look just like dolly parton)?
-kristy and claud talk about the prospect of noserings. kristy says she will look like a cow, and claud says "you get the side of your nose pierced, not the middle." you're right, claud. nobody gets the middle of their nose pierced.
-jessi feels bad for mr. trout and tries not to find the pranks funny, but she has trouble. I like this -- it's super believable for a middle school bystander.
-someone auditions for the follies with the vitameatavegamin sketch! it's been at least a few books since the last time there was an i love lucy reference!
lowlights/nitpicks:
-on nose piercing, jessi says that it takes awhile (sic) for some "African styles" to catch on. huh? am I wrong in thinking that side-of-nose piercing originally came from South Asian cultures and Oceanic Aboriginal cultures?
-the bsc kids make their own follies, making fun of the bsc members. it's not funny at all and really boring. they never call kristy a fascist, or mary anne a self-obsessed asshole, or dawn a pathetic classist racist idiot, or jessi a narcissist. I wish I could make my own bsc follies.
claudia outfit:
-"For example, at that meeting she was wearing '50s-style cat's-eye glasses frames, a plastic barette in the shape of an alligator, a tie-dyed T-shirt, and bell-bottoms."
in stacey's kid kit:
-book of word games
-mad libs
-markers
snacks in claudia's room:
-baked corn chips under her bed

DNF. As a teacher, it bothers me to read about students being so cruel to a teacher.
September 4, 2020
Jessi is a cool chick, but this book was extremely lame. She deserved a better story then pranking a nerdy toupee wearing teacher.
December 7, 2020
oh jessi. sweet, sweet jessi. poor thing gets caught up in a series of pranks against their middle aged teacher whose only crimes seem to be pronouncing his r’s like w’s and trying to reach these kids through learning? points for recurring characters the dollies, two teachers who are both named dolly and look like dolly parton. i’d forgotten about these women. jessi deserves better! the ache of regret after not really going along with the pranks but also not stopping them is totally believable for a sixth grader. don’t worry jessica ramsey, sixth grade doesn’t last forever.
January 13, 2024
This one was boring almost as bad as the baby parade book. Jessi has a new teacher Mr. Trout who has funny hair is quiet says his r's like w's and really is not meant to be a teacher. As a partially deaf person who also says r's like w's I hated them making fun of the guy because back in the day it bothered me. Now it still does but whatever. The kids play pranks on him including the horrible one that has them take off his toupee. Then Jessi feels bad for the rest of the book. The other plot involves the 6th grade follies and the introduction of the two Dollies that bumped this up to three stars. The Dollies are two teachers who look like Dolly Parton and are of course fans of hers. These two seem like so much fun. The follies show ends with a skit making fun of the teachers including the hapless Mr. Trout. The next day he leaves school they get a new teacher who punishes anyone who gets out of line despite his name Bellafatto. Jessi tries to get him back and he refuses saying he was not meant to be a teacher. Another sub plot of the sub plot involves the sitting charges roasting the BSC in their own follies show. It's kind of funny but I don't see Kristy laughing at herself but it was cute I guess but without the Dollies this book sucked. I hope they return in other books, I think I remember them from a super mystery but I'm not sure I might read them again to see.

This book was awkward, but not because of any "horrible pranks" that Jessi pulled. It was awkward because Mr Trout needed to assert himself. Though I totally understand Jessi's guilt about the whole situation, I would have totally felt the same way.

This book is good for tackling kids bullying the substitute teacher cliche, but stating the reason Mr. Trout deserved all the pranks and embarrassment was because he didn’t respond to them is not a good message.

I think Jessi gets way more than her share of Very Special Episodes. So she makes fun of a "shy, geeky" teacher who wears a "bad toupee." Really, Jessi, we expected more from you.
February 28, 2024
I didn't like the overall message in this one. Mr. Trout definitely wasn't cut out to be an authority figure (you need to be confident and no-nonsense to teach sixth-graders; middle-schoolers are the absolute WORST). But the other teachers and the principal seemed to victim-blame him, like he brought the bullying on himself by being weird and standoffish. It sounds like the entire faculty at SMS just didn't like him any more than the kids did. Jessi's class should absolutely have been punished once she confessed to the principal about their pranks. The kids who pulled his toupee off should have been suspended!! But the principal, Mr. Kingbridge, was like "Yeah, Mr Trout just isn't tough enough to be a teacher, glad he's outta here." That doesn't sit well with me as an anti-bullying or anti-hazing message.
It's good that Jessi felt guilty and horrible about the pranks and the Follies. It shows that she's a decent person, unlike the faculty who encouraged the public mockery of Mr Trout's baldness and speech impediment. Yes, the other teachers were mocked in the stage play too, but they clearly had given their consent.
The entire BSC series is really awful when it comes to bullying. And this book is the worst because NO ONE GETS PUNISHED OR EVEN REPRIMANDED. Jessi is literally praised by EVERYONE for her mocking imitation of him in the play. Mr. Trout is humiliated and driven away, and the kids get rewarded with a new, cool teacher. Awful.

June 18, 2019In this Babysitter's Club Book, ghost-written by Peter Lerangis, Jessi deals with the aftermath of her class, herself included, being mean to a teacher culminating in a fund-raising show whose sole plot is making fun of the Stoneybrook Middle School teachers. I read most of these as a kid and as an adult I am attempting to re-read a series from my childhood each year. This year it is the BSC. What bothers me about the book has nothing to do with the plot. The teacher Jessi and her classmates make fun of, Mr. Trout, is compared to a Klingon in Star Trek. Her friend Justine proposes the idea in an exchange that begins like this:
".....'Ah didn't dah, ah wuz kidnapped by Klingons!' You know what a Klingon is, from Star Trek?"
"Those ugly bald guys, right?"
"Right! And in walks one with a phaser - and it's Mr. Trout."
Now this book was published in 1994. The only Klingons on the show, that iconic, well known show, had very long hair. It was sort of their trademark. The fact that this author (and the publisher) got something so very wrong (and the ENTIRE show they do that makes Jessi feel guilty is based on him being a Klingon) that was easy to look up and anyone who had every seen a Star Trek episode would know was wrong, bothers me. Did no one proof this? I am reading these books for fun, but if you are going to make a pop-culture reference, get it right.

Sigh. This book deals with some really emotionally sophisticated concepts. In particular, Jessi feels pressured to "be cool" with some casual cruelty as a result of prejudice she herself has faced, and she doesn't want to be the killjoy Black person who "takes things too seriously." That is an extremely important idea, and while it isn't given a ton of airtime, the point is still pretty well made. Since these books are for younger readers, it probably could have been made in a bit more detail anyway. Even the awareness that everyone is different, and feels things differently, is a pretty sophisticated one. But ultimately, the takeaway is that this bullied teacher is just "too sensitive." I hate at. This book was so uncomfortable to read because of the cruelty toward this teacher, and then he's just "in the wrong career"? Give me a break.
January 7, 2022
This is another one of those books like Kristy and the Copycat where I'm left wondering how we're supposed to feel. For one thing, Jessi's titular prank isn't even a prank and "roast comedy" should not be a school activity. Jessi also has a huge internal struggle about NOT wanting to participate in pranking the teacher and feeling bad for him, so it's not even like she's much fun.
But basically the moral of this story is that it's okay that this teacher was repeatedly publicly harassed by his students because he wasn't good at his job and no one liked him. Like... what!? It was so baffling!

I love the follies plot but the BSC books never go into events in a detailed enough way. I wish we'd had a little more dialogue in both shows we were told about.
And, sure, I knew Jessi's prank wasn't going to be horrible for real but...it wasn't even a prank? That said, it does ring true. I think every school has a teacher or two who take themselves a little too seriously to be teachers long term (understandably so--teaching middle school kids must be a nightmare, especially.)
So this one was fun although not unexpected. And I enjoyed the side plot more than the main.

July 29, 2020As 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.

Jessi and her classmates are excited for the 6th Grade SMS Follies. Jessi is invested in making these Follies a success, and is a part of the performance committee, the finance committee, and is cast in two roles. But she doesn't feel great about a part she is playing: that of Mr. Trout...a teacher who is constantly being made fun of by his students. After the Follies, Jessi learns that Mr. Trout quit. She feels responsible, and has to find a way to fix it.

I liked this book. In The Baby-Sitters Club: Jessi’s Horrible Prank, Jessi along with her classmates, takes part in constant pranks against a new teacher, Mr. Trout. The pranks they pull on him are cruel and the teacher ultimately ends up abruptly resigning after Jessi performs a song making fun of him. This makes Jessi realize how her actions hurt him and that not all jokes are funny. This is a good message for kids to hear and I think it would be good to have in the classroom.

When I was 10 I joined a readers club/group where we got a new book every week. I chose The babysitters club.
The books are fantastic! So enjoyable. I loved getting the book every week. They are super quick reads and I was able to read it in one day.
Highly recommend for young teenagers to read or even younger if they are able too read well.

3 stars. Oh, Jessi. I adore you so but this story just wasn't good. It did her character no favors and felt out of character for her. I didn't like it. I did like how she tried to correct the situation in the end but this was a disappointing Jessi book which is rare as I usually always love when she leads the stories. This was a miss unfortunately.

Jessi and her classmates are little brats to their teacher. Jessi feels bad and apparently none of the rest of her little psychopathic classmates do.
Now it’s obvious that Mr Trout shouldn’t be a teacher but the fact that the entire class gets away with being awful to him even after he leaves is something else. Not even a lecture from the principal? Really?

This is a fine book in some ways, but a disaster of a book in others. There is no real horrible prank - there's just a thing that Jessi feels bad about and is absolved from by every adult around her. It's fine, but I was expecting an actual horrible prank because of the title.

Vanessa/Claudia kept stuffing her face the whole way through, constantly pulling snacks out of her backpack, mumbling all her words. At one point she picked up the clock and said, “This would make a fabulous hat!”
February 11, 2026
An accurate portrayal of how evil sixth graders can be, but god that made it a stressful read. I did really like the ending and seeing Jessi deal with her guilt.
The kids’ BSC Follies performance was a highlight of the book!

Poor Mr Trout. Kids are mean! Like they flat-out bullied the guy, and I get that he's definitely not cut out to be a teacher, but like when the principal found out about the kids' behaviour, why didn't he address it at all? Deliberately removing a teacher's toupee goes beyond normal high-spiritedness, and is downright cruel.

This one was sweet, and I loved the side plot with the kids, but goodness, that ending was abrupt!

Not a favorite, but it’s a good book. A little dramatic to be honest, and I like the series, but I don’t know how to feel about this one. It was meh but good at the same time
