Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends and founding members of The Baby-sitters Club. Whatever comes up -- cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors, prank calls -- you can count on them to save the day.

But no matter what, the BSC have what they need most: friendship.

There are a lot of graphic novels that I do not care for, because of the illustrations. This novel was illustrated by the same woman who illustrated "Smile." The pictures and text are very clear.
Some people are complaining the story lines are not appropriate for younger elementary. I think when these were published they were aimed at Middle School aged kids- since the kids in the books are all in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I remember reading the original ones as a 9 year old, and it was my first introduction to a lot of new concepts, like divorce, deafness, and diabetes- but to be fair, these are all things I hear my elementary students at school talk to their friends about. Ann Martin has always been really good about writing about tough themes for kids in a way that makes them non-threatening.
I would really recommend this novel to any girl who struggles with reading, or any girl who finds reading boring. It is a series, with #2 already published, and #3 and #4 on the way. If your girl happens to like the graphic novels, you can always try the original, non-illustrated series as well. if you have a girl that REALLY is getting into graphic novels, we also liked the Phoebe and the Unicorn series as well.
Meanwhile, they deal with issues like parents dating and a friend’s secret. Jobs include dog-sitting, wild cousins, and a girl afraid of the witch next door.
Loved the colorful and vibrant illustrations! Raina’s a great talent
A great read! Look forward to more babysitter’s club.
The only down side is that the beginning of the story lacked some description when Watson is introduced.. it takes a few pages before you realize that Kristy's parents are divorced and she's dating Watson since it isn't exactly explicit at first. But really, that's the only slight negative that I could find.. I really can't imagine this story being as engaging in black and white. It's also hard to tell that this wasn't originally printed in color too.. they did a great job colorizing it. Many of the action lines are changed to white to stand out a bit better. I really hope they give the Goosebump graphix books the same treatment next!
1)Great book! The one thing I don't like is that Stacey is ashamed of having diabetes its not like she choose to have it,I feel sorry that Stacey is ashamed
2)Blah Blah Blah I don't they say anybody can read these books so don't say boys cant read these books
3)WARNING....We're the seventh book nd eighth book is romantic!!!!!!ewww I love them still!!
4) For sure girls 9-12 will love this assess seeds
5)-last but not least-
DONT
SHAME
