I swear these keep getting better and better! For those of you like me who are VERY familiar with the original books, this is the one where we meet Dawn from California who became the reason why I wanted my parents to get divorced so one of them could marry one of my friend’s parents. That never happened. I think what makes this series so great is that it captures all of the drama and difficulty of middle school: dealing with friends, dealing with parents, dealing with younger siblings and diffi...
This is the first of Raina’s BSC graphic novel adaptations that I’ve seen in their full technicolor glory. I’m so in love with it, not that I didn’t enjoy the black and white illustrations in the versions I read of the first two graphic novels in the series.Raina has once again captured the original story so well. Her illustrations are always amazing, with giggle-worthy exaggerated expressions. I have so many favourites in this graphic novel, but check out Kristy’s face when she realises she’s b...
I'm giving these books 4 stars purely for nostalgia. The middle school drama depicted is kind of annoying, but I know it's just representing how annoying middle school was.
I love Raina's art style. I'm checking a bunch of GN for work - this will be perfect for the intended audience, which is very much not me.
Raina Telgemeier's Baby-sitters Club adaptations continue to be excellent. The adaptation is very close to the source material in Mary Anne Saves the Day, even bringing out Mary Anne's broody, angsty, interior-monologue-heavy style through narration boxes that are sometimes not even about what is being shown. As in the book, it's strange (and a little cool) to suddenly see the girls we've grown close to and identified with in past books as antagonists. (Structurally, this conceit works better wh...
So darn cute! I love revisiting these stories from my childhood in graphic novel form. The art is so cute and perfect and it stays true to the story. Mary Anne was my least favorite when I read the series as a kid, but I liked her in this graphic novel. Such an enjoyable series - I’m glad I picked it up!
I was a huge fan of the BSC books when I was a pre- teen and teen. I had tons of them, including all the Super Specials and the California Diaries series. Reading these as graphic novels is fun and opening these stories to a new generation. I love how they keep it true to the time period, not adding cell phones or anything like that. I highly recommend them for the nostalgia factor.
What a sweet story. This is a wonderful example of young friendships.
The baby-sitters club is back and they have more clients than they can handle. But they have a little fight over the jobs and like any other group of friends they get mad at each other and end up not speaking to each other. This story is told from Mary Anne's perspective. I am loving this series but especially the part that each story is told from a different member's perspective. Mary Anne's mother passed away when she was little and she is being raised by her single father. He is pretty strict...
RATING: 4 STARS(Review Not on Blog) As a kid I LOVED the Baby-Sitters Club and would often spend hours scouring the library for the next title. Honestly, I probably read the series longer than I should have (reading level-wise), but it always felt like visiting friends. While I have never wanted to be a babysitter, I loved the club idea. As a bossy creative kid this was right up my alley. The friendships in this book was something I had always wanted. This was a series I grew up with and was my
Aw this was my fave so far. 💖
I love revisiting these now as an adult. And they're fantastically illustrated.
I picked this up casually from the library, expecting it to be a fun little jaunt into my childhood. Friends, I was wrong. The awesomeness of this little graphic novel has inspired me to want to re-read every single one of the Babysitter's Club books ever. Raina Telgemeier does a magnificent job of capturing the girls' personalities in her artwork. This book is all about a fight among the girls in the club, and Telgemeier depicts their petty emotional tactics through the artwork, showing just ho...
I love the group dynamic of the babysitters, but seeing them drift apart was not ideal. I need my gold group dynamic to move this storyline along. This review and more can be found on my blog.
Another fun installment in this graphic novel series. Mary Anne is the character that I always identified with the most so it's nice to reach a story focused on her. After a fight with her friends, Mary Anne sets about finding some independence and learns to stand her ground a little more with her well intentioned yet overbearing father. Dawn arrives in this one!I love the artwork used in this series, and the way it brings a fresh take to a childhood favourite! I will continue reading them with
This book is problepy the worst bookman the series so far because i do not like how all of the club members het mad at each other for stupid reasons and the fight last for at least half of the book!
These graphic novels make my heart so, so happy.
A sweet, girly, graphic novel based on the best selling Baby-Sitters Club series.Ages 8-12Raina Telgemeir rewrote the original book by Ann Martin with the same title, to graphic novel format. I was not looking forward to reading this book. Not a huge fan of the syrupy sweet original series nor a fan of graphic novels, the thought of reading this seemed like a double punishment. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The characters were modernized by the teen-feeling artwork and hipper fashions and...
If I knew about it, I would definitely have enjoyed this book in my primary school years.
Wow this is the first time I ever saw the friends fight but the story is still pretty good
