I really liked it. I first discovered the baby sitters club through Netflix that did the TV adaptation and though I'm a young adult, I'm a kid at heart and I loved it. As a type one diabetic, Diagnosed at 7, seeing Stacy, a fashionable strong character who also happened to have diabetes was so... I'm not sure the word but it filled my heart because her struggles were my struggles and for the first time in decades I felt seen and understood. Growing up I had Nick Jonas to look up to and let me know anything was possible, but I'm sure I would have loved Stacy as a kid too.
I found the graphic novel and picked it up and read it in one day; I just couldn't put it down. I felt a little silly reading this at my age, but honestly I think I could use some lighthearted things in my life and I don't regret picking it up. The characters and the story are just so engaging and heart warming. You want the girls to succeed and support them. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did, but I sure did! The facial expressions added in the art style just match the character so well. I enjoyed it. I didn't like as much the scene with Stacy and the candy, given diabetics can eat it, it just needs to be covered and it could cause a spike so all in moderation, but knowing she was only diagnosed for one year makes sense. The first years are more strict in the beginning until you understand better how your body reacts. Each diabetic is different, but candy isn't kryptonite. You just need to be careful with when and how much. But thats just me being technical. I liked in the end we see her eating pretzels in the art because we do need carbs, just count them. Other than that, it was good.

It was nice to read Telgemeier’s graphic novel interpretation of this book. I read a ton of books in this series when I was younger, and I am surprised how much came back to me after reading this.
Going back and re-Reading these, I realise how well put together this series was and how it balanced fun reading with important life messages for kids. And the art is A+ too.
the truth................... is that i love raina telgemeier.
I was a little too old for them when they came out, so this was the first Babysitters' Club book I'd ever read. It wasn't as bad as I'd feared, in part because Telgemeier's artwork is always so appealing. I have to admit I got more caught up in the story than I'd expected. When I was a driving-age babysitter, I once misplaced a 3 year old because I was watching MTV. I had about ten minutes of sheer panic, but it turned out he had put himself to bed for a nap, and I hadn't seen him the first three times I checked his room because of the giant pile of stuffed animals he was nested in. So the rivalry between the younger, more sincere babysitters and the older, unmotivated babysitters did ring a bell...

This is a conversion of the second book of the classic series, The Babysisters Club, which has been converted into graphic novel form. I loved this series growing up, and I definitely feel like this book does it justice. I don’t know why, but Stacey was always my favourite character.
It's a cute book :)) I actually liked it a lot !! And also the fact that I read this book in like Max 2 hours aka in kinda one sitting is just awesome for me <33. I liked the story as a whole too and I didn't realise that this was a sequel until I finished reading the book.
I did like it, but reading this comic reminded me that the Baby-Sitters Club series was intended for elementary and middle school children, not for thirty-somethings.
