Taffy Sinclair makes her first appearance in the book The Against Taffy Sinclair Club. Taffy was the prettiest girl in Mark Twain Elementary and most of the boys had crushes on her. When she begins developing more than the other girls in school, Jana and the other girls create the club. The rivalry takes an especially ugly turn when jealous Jana writes an "expose" on Taffy in the school newspaper.
Taffy also becomes an actress in a soap opera and befriends Raven Blaine, a famous teen idol with whom she co-stars in the soap opera. Toward the end of the series, she is not a prominent character anymore because she is in Los Angeles, working as an actress. Jana implies that toward the end, she and the rest of The Fabulous Five had become civil with Taffy, most likely because they had The Fantastic Foursome rivalry to focus on. In a chapter of Yearbook Memories (Super Edition 4), Jana recounts how she and Taffy resolved their differences and grew to respect one another.

Famous quotes containing the word sinclair:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
