This was my favorite of the Baby-Sitters Club books when I was a kid and so I had to read the graphic novel version. It did not disappoint! I read the original so many times, it hit a ton of the details I loved while putting a new twist on it. I'm probably going to read some more of these for the nostalgia.

Oh my Nokley, I took a trip down memory lane with these graphic novel adaptions.

I was slightly uncomfortable with the way Stacey interacted with her ‘crush’ and their friend group, and also the way she just left the children basically vulnerable with Mary-Anne, and yet nothing was said.
And yes ok, it’s middle grade, and “we’re all best friends, I’ll cover for you” but they should have been honest and told the parents. I mean let’s be real, kids are snitches. What are they going to do when one of the kids says oh no we hardly saw Stacey she was with her boyfriend, we we’re with Mary-Anne and her friends?

Stacey was always my favorite, but she was insufferable in this.

It's so odd that, having not read this book in like 20 years, I remembered this one so well. Why this random one out of the whole series, I don't know. But I can tell I'm older because the first time I read it I felt Stacey's plight in my very soul. This time I rolled my eyes so hard I saw my Lord and Savior, because child, you are thirteen.

Which is young but not too young to learn that men ain't shit. Now you know.

I did still enjoy this one. It was one of the books where I liked Mary Anne the most.

This book is quite focused on Mary Anne and Stacey. So If you don't like them, I don't recommend this book. They go babysit the pikes in a different state, and Stacey gets way too distracted with other things, leaving Mary Anne to do it all! 8 kids are a lot............will Mary Anne actually "Do it all", or will things go terribly wrong..............

Haha yikes, this reminds me of me as a teen. Love the change of scenery for this book though!
