Welcome to the book that made me think being diagnosed with diabetes was one of the scariest things that could happen to me as a kid. It’s talked about as if it’s a shameful secret for both Stacey and her parents, giving yourself insulin injections is labelled “gross” and there are multiple references to how Stacey could die if she doesn’t manage her diabetes. No wonder I was scared.We’ve already read Kristy and Claudia’s first BSC books. Now it’s Stacey’s turn. Stacey was the babysitter who mad...
Great book in a series of great books. Much more female empowered than the last one which I had to rant about so that's awesome.
Poor Stacey! I wouldn't like to have diabetes. But luckily she has her friends to help her.
Stacey is threatened by a rival baby-sitting club and a new diabetes doctor.There are two main conflicts in this book. One is the new baby-sitting club. Eighth-graders Liz Lewis and Michelle Patterson have started their own business, the Baby-sitters Agency, with several key advantages over the BSC. They boast older sitters with later curfews, including boys (OMG), and they don’t restrict the clients to specific meeting times--parents can call anytime. The club isn’t sure how to handle this new
In the third book of The Babysitters Club series, it's finally Stacey's turn to take the lead. In this installment we learn more about Stacey's diabetes, her relationship with her parents and their overprotective attitude towards her illness, and also some drama goes down between the girls and a rival club.Stacey was always my favourite club member. To 12 year old me she was super cool and trendy (she wears a dinosaur pin in her beret! And red fingerless gloves!) while also being smart. I always...
the truth about stacey is that she has childhood-onset diabetes. big fucking deal. i mean, i'm sure it sucks for her, having to watch her diet & everything. my dad had diabetes & it was no picnic for him (though he did not have to give himself insulin shots). but the way they build up to it, you'd think she was typhoid mary or something. the way these books were written, i got the idea that diabetes was an STI when i was a kid (cut me some slack, i was seven years old, it was 1986, & we were sur...
Re-read of 2018 Stacey was the "big city" gal of the Babysitters Club and I loved her stories so much! Her coming on to the scene meant that Claudia had a best friend. It is now November and Stacey is loving her time with the Baby-Sitters Club. However, she is wishing that her parents were not so obsessed with her diabetes and the BSC is dealing with a rival babysitting agency. It's all out war! It was interesting to see that Stacey was more aligned with Kristy in this issue and Claudia and Mar
I blame Paperback Crush for this foray into my childhood. The rereads of my beloved Babysitters Club did not disappoint. What a joy it was to be reunited with my favorites from this beloved series that marked my childhood.
When I was a child, I loved the Babysitters Club books. I devoured them. I read those, along with the Super Specials, Mysteries, Little Sister books, etc. In fact, I still have all of them to this day in paperback. They were such a big part of my love of reading, I could not part with them. So now that they have come out on Audiobook, I had to check them out. As it turns out, I am not too old to enjoy The Baby-sitters Club. It kind of feels like going home again. The Truth About Stacey is book 3...
My all time favourite series as a young girl! I looked forward to Book Club day (Ashton Scholastic) with anticipation and my $5.95 in an envelope. When I missed one my mum and I would go to Grace Brothers Parramatta where I could buy a copy. I was in year 5 at public school, the books came out monthly and I discovered them when no. 2 came out, so I wasn't too late and didn't miss a book. It was a monthly publication and I always looked forward to the next. I purchased them until I was 'too old',...
BSC was instrumental in bringing to the forefront those hard-hitting issues weighing on every upper-middle class goody-two-shoe New England girl. Here, we learn about the horrible secret Stacey (the pretty/popular girl) has been hiding. I won't spill the beans, but she can't eat sugar!! I know, I almost fainted, too. But with the BSC, you know we'll all make it through!
Once again excellent narration by Elle Fanning, I wish they would just give her the gig of doing all the books 😂 I noticed that while the book hasn’t been given the updated make-over of the new Netflix show, a reference to a certain TV show popular in the 80’s has been removed.
