This is a great book from the series! It mainly focuses on the rivalry of Claudia and Janine, about their problems and diversity. Highly reccomend.

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.
Awwww, Mimi. I love Claudia's grandmother, Mimi and also like Janine a lot. I like when we get glimpses of the Kishi family as it reminded me a bit of my own family. Like my own grandmother, Bibi. Another solid book.

This installment does a good job dealing with the decline of older family members. Also it does a good job exploring the rivalry that builds up between sisters and how that might be partly based in misunderstandings and differences of personality. I’ve never read a book by Raina Telgemeier that was anything less than excellent. I’m glad my daughters have enjoyed her books.

I have three middle-grade nieces who like comics and have birthdays so earlier this summer I got on a roll of reading middle-grade comics and now I can't stop. I was a huge BSC nerd in middle school and I love all the updates the series has been getting on Netflix and in these comics- although now that the Netflix show features more babysitters of color, the comics seem tragically white.
