I love this book a lot. For the people who have been reading the series, I love how Mary Anne's father and Dawn's mother are dating. It has been going so well, however Kristy is not very happy about it. She starts sitting new kids and the mother has been going through a lot. She was forgetting many things. Will Dawn speak up?...............

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 favourite for a long time. Confession time, I may have had a bit of a crush on Logan.

I was working at the library and saw that this graphic novel come in while I checked material in. I was excited to see that Baby-Sitters Club was being introduced to another generation. I thumbed through the book and saw this was the same story with a few updates. While usually I am not a fan of updating original stories (as it gives us the time and place when something was first written), I was okay with this series being updated. Moving this novelized book into a graphic novel made it easier to accept new changes.

I would definitely recommend this one to those who once enjoyed reading BSC in the past. This is also great read for young girls between 9-12.

Another great instalment in the series - this time we get more about Dawn and how she comes to terms with three out of control kids.

I do not care for Galligan's drawing style (which reminds me of Archie comics) after having enjoyed Telegmeirer's interpretations for the first 4 books. I'm probably more bothered by this than I should be.

I picked this graphic novel up as a quick and causal read, and didn’t expect anything from the plot, so I am quite surprised at how eloquent the story was. The plot revolved around three completely different conflicts with such artistic flow that none took a priority over the other. However, that’s also where I’m left disappointed with the story as we never actually get a complete picture of what happens in the end, making the story more ambitious for it’s own good. Yet, I think this also adds the realistic twist to the plot, as the conflicts depicted aren’t ones that easily resolve through casual interactions and require progression and time to heal. However, I still want a BETTER ENDING.

(Disclaimer: I haven’t really read any of the other novels in this series, so maybe the plot progresses later on, which is a brilliant marketing trick to get the readers to read more of the books. But it might not be, because I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything without reading four of the preceding books. I guess I’ll never know.)
