Color by Braden Lamb. Telgemeier's graphic-novel adaptations of the popular series, which follows the evolving friendship of four middle-school students who create a baby-sitting service, are published in full color. No-frills dialogue and dynamic panel illustrations skillfully convey sympathetic characters and an array of well-realized conflicts. [Review covers the following Baby-Sitters Club titles: Kristy's Great Idea, Mary Anne Saves the Day, and The Truth About Stacey.] - Horn Book Guide Reviews : Horn Book Guide Reviews 2007 Spring
While the club runs into a larger babysitting agency (run by older students more interested in money than in children) that threatens to put Kristy et al. out of business, club member Stacey comes to terms with overprotective parents, lost friendships, and her diabetes. No-frills dialogue and dynamic black-and-white panel illustrations skillfully convey sympathetic characters and an array of well-realized conflicts.

Gr 5â7â Stacey is the new girl in town. She has made three good friends in a babysitters club but her memories of her old friends still haunt her. Many of them, including her best friend, Laine, ditched her after she was diagnosed with diabetes. Her parents aren't much help; they keep dragging her from doctor to doctor looking for a miracle cure. All Stacey wants to do is manage her condition on her own terms. An impending trip back to New York and a rival babysitting club has Stacey confused and nervous. Will she be able to reconcile with Laine? Will this new group, complete with sitters who can stay up late, end the club for good? The graphic adaptation of the hugely popular series has as much heart as the original. The girls' dedication to the kids they care for and to their friendship never comes off as hokey. The black-and-white cartoons capture each character's personality; the facial expressions say a lot. Each girl has her own style. The outfits have been updated but the skirts haven't gotten shorter. A solid purchase for both school and public libraries.âSadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA

Stacey McGill faces challenges in her new home and with her new friends in the Baby-Sitters Club who are dealing with rival competition, but her biggest tests are learning to cope with her diabetes and her overprotective parents. The BSC-Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey-are forced to compete for baby-sitting jobs, so they employ some of Kristy's good ideas such as personalized kid-kits to bring all their favorites to the children. Their competitors are good promoters. They recruit older sitters, and they even stoop to sabotage, but the BSC prevails by simply being more caring, careful baby-sitters. Stacey faces her own personal trials daily as she is constantly shuffled from one doctor to another in search of the miracle cure. Her parents also have become exceedingly overprotective, but Stacey eventually and creatively gains a voice in her own treatment. This is the second of Martin's Baby-Sitter's Club series to be lent freshness and appeal when adapted to graphic novel format, but it is the third from the original series. Telgemeier, an Eisner Award nominee, creates characters who are expressive, endearing, and do a great job expressing the gawkiness of those tween and teen years. Readers may also enjoy The Baby-Sitter's Club: Kristy's Great Idea (Graphix/Scholastic, 2006/VOYA June 2006), her first graphic novel. Again the level is spot on with this enjoyable and unique read that will be a welcome addition to any young adult collection.-Ava Ehde 4Q 4P M J G Copyright 2007 Voya Reviews.
