The California Diaries series is the best YA series IN THE WORLD a Baby-Sitters Club spinoff that features Dawn and her California friends, who are required to write journals for school and end up journaling about the trials and pains of adolescence as they experience new schools, difficult family situations, emotional struggles, etc., etc. The series is fifteen books long, and each of the five main characters narrates three books.

Ducky (born Christopher) McCrae has been my favorite since the books first came out, when I was, er 11ish? He's adorable and funny and insecure and he's fairly flamboyant and deeply confused about his sexuality. I knew felt he was gay from the moment I met him, but was too young to read the subtext really deeply, but now I'm pretty sure that he is canonically, subtextually gay.

I put off reading the last book in the series (which is "Ducky Diary 3") for years because the pullquote on the back reads "Sunny and I are just friends. Sunny and I are just friends. Sunny and I are JUST FRIENDS," and adolescent!me went oh, that doesn't bode well for gay!Ducky...

When I finally read it in college, I was pleasantly surprised. [link, with spoilers.]

Sigh!

(The icon is a scan from one of the Ducky books. Because Ducky is made of heart, and is secretly my avatar.)

Bother you! I was living quite happily with BSC well and truly in my past (and all my sister's and my books given away years ago) and now not only is your fic making me think I should find copies and reread them, but you're introducing me to a whole new spin-off series. Bother!

Will check out the next big library I visit, surreptitiously, in disguise.
