I started reading the Baby-Sitter's Club books when I was nine years old, and even though they are deeply formulaic and predictable and old-fashioned and ridiculous, I loved them then and I love them now and I will continue to love them with the same fervor until I die (not to get all hyperbolic or anything). They were recommended to me (actually to my mom for me) by the mom of one of my elementary school classmates (thanks, Mrs. Lee!) because one of the main characters, Stacey, has diabetes (th...
Raina did such a fantastic job translating the third BSC book into a graphic novel. But was there ever any doubt? I’d be on board if she made the entire series into graphic novels.Given that I’ve read both the book and graphic novel today and because the graphic novel remains so true to the source material, there’s not a lot I can say that I didn’t already say in my review of the book.Instead I’ll mention some of the changes I noticed between the two. I loved that all of the changes were minor,
A really good and fun book to read in your spare time I recommend.
Perhaps unsurprisingly this book continues what is a great adaption of a rather timeless series. While I was a bit concerned by the lack of modern issues tackled in the first book, I have since read Drama by Raina Telgemeier and published by Scholastic, which was for a similar age group but completely original.Since Scholastic and Telgemeier are obviously not afraid of tackling the more "modern" issues that children are facing, I'm much more comfortable with this book - which is an adaption of a...
These are so cute and fun. Love them.
Violet said the book was “good” and she learned that friendships can recover if they apologize for ignoring each like Stacey and Laine didOona said the book was “good” and she learned that sometimes they should tell somebody when something is happening like when the BabySitters Agency were doing bad stuff. Like leaving Jamie in the streets with no hats and muffins
Honestly can not get enough, I wish they made the entire series again as a set of graphic novels. I would 100% spend the approximate $1000 that would end up being.
This was a fun read!
Did u know that Stacey is from New York... also that she has diabetes
Until recently when my daughter liked the show, did I pay much attention to BSC. I had some of the books as a middle school student, but it wasn’t necessary my favorite. The graphic novels are great for anyone interested in the storylines. The show is well done, I think, but with the illustrations in the books, they are just as good.
Oh my God! I’m having such nostalgic feels over this series. Keep ‘em comin’!!
I thought that it was a good read, but the one thing that is incorrect about the book is that in the original series, "The Truth About Stacey," is the third book while Claudia and the Phantom Phone Caller is the second book. They literally skipped 1 book in the series and in my opinion, Claudia and the Phantom Phone caller was one of the best books in the series.
Oh the nostalgia!! I grew up loving the Baby-Sitter's Club and these graphic novels are a fun way to bring back memories of my childhood.
Stacey moved to Stoneyboork from New York City not that long ago. We find out that she has diabetes and for her better health, her parents decided to move which works out better for Stacey as she makes new friends fairly easily and she is actually enjoying her life here including the baby-sitters club. Meanwhile, the baby-sitters club has competition from another agency and the agency has older kids to baby-sit. So the baby-sitters club comes with ideas to overcome their competition. Another gre...
Another absolute gem of a graphic novel adaptation of one of my all-time favorite BSC books, The Truth About Stacey! Raina's art captures the drama, angst, humor, and heart of both storylines: the BSC facing competition from a rival baby-sitting business, and Stacey's parents dragging her back to NYC to undergo tests from a fad doctor she doesn't trust - not to mention staying with her ex-best friend, Laine, who abandoned her when she got sick. Random ObservationsThis is a highly faithful adapta...
My second read of this book, with the illustrations being in colour in this edition. These are fun, nostalgic reads, a nice way to revisit an old favourite with a fresh twist. Raina Telgemeier captures the characters perfectly. Highlights in this volume include the creation of the Kid Kits which takes their baby-sitting into a new realm of professionalism, Stacey's New York memories, and Claudia's outfits - her artistic approach to clothes was always something I loved reading about, and it's nic...
This was a very quick read. I forgot to log in when I first started it, but it didn't take long to finish this.
This was very good. I like these girls and their adventures and challenges!
I was so excited for this follow up to Kristy's Great Idea. I wanted to dive head first into Stacey’s story. However, I wish more time was spent with Stacey’s personal life instead of constant meetings with the baby-sitters club brainstorming how to get more business. We spent more time in this book with the green background than in Stacey’s house. Also, I wanted some cute budding romance to appear in this book like it does in the movie. It became a bit of a let down in the end. Still, I'm excit...
Wow, this one was chock-full of stuff. I really love seeing the BSC books come to live with these graphic novels. I hope there will be several more, well maybe not the whole series (as there are so many books), but maybe a few of the special ones.This time Stacey is the main character and it was so interesting to see things from her POV. Don't get me wrong, Kristy is an amazing character and I really liked her, but Stacey is just a bit different. Both of the girls have had their share of problem...
