I really loved this book. I loved revisiting this story and also seeing the awesome art style. It has been so long since I read this story but I loved it. I loved how this story had nice balance of focusing on stacey as a lead character but still had a main story focusing on the other girls. I really am loving this series and the new love this series is getting. This is a super fast read and I can't wait to tackle the other ones from the series.

For whatever reason I liked this book better than the third one (I read that one first). I don't know why. It kept me engaged, reminded me about what the original book was about and was fun to read. I would recommend this book to readers of The BSC series. 5 out of 5 stars.

I love how the girls are visually presented. i also enjoyed reading about Stacey taking control of her diabetes, her job and even the friendships she has in her life. I even love how Kristy and the other baby-sitters faced competition. They had some good ideas which were not so helpful, but their competition was not even as good as the Baby-Sitters club members.

Since when does Laine have braces? Did they add those in to make her more accessible? SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER COOL, I DONT WANT HER TO BE ACCESSIBLE. Also, why is Kristy blond?
I grew up with this series and it was kind of weird seeing the characters illustrated, because the girls were always older than I was and in my head they're older, and I've forgotten how little twelve and thirteen-year-olds are.
I still want to read the actual book, though. It's just not the same without the little taglines on the covers.

My favorite part of this second installment is the fact that we learned more Stacey's past, and that a conflict was successfully resolved in the present. Only good things for the girls for the future.

I love Raina Telgemeier's art style so when I heard that she had released a graphic novel version of the Babysitters' Club books, they immediately went on my to-read list. I spent plenty of summers devouring all the BSC books I could get my hands on from my local library, so there is definitely a high level of nostalgia here in how much I enjoyed this book. The graphic novel is a perfect adaption, the right mix between babysitting; dealing with the new rival club; and Stacey's issues with her diabetes. I look forward to seeing how Raina continues to adapt the series.

The graphic novel version is like the original. The best parts of the books- friendship, a business sense, setting goals, being responsible, and using creativity- are still relevant today.
I plan to buy as many of this new version as the publisher will crank out! (Hopefully at least the first 35, but I'd buy all 131.)

I probably read some of the original series when I was younger. My library happened to have ebook copies of books 2-4 of the graphic novel, so I picked them up to read.
I was just 'eh' about it. I LOVE Telgemeier's artwork. It is so gorgeous and it's got great colors. I guess I'm just not interested in babysitting or middle schoolers doing so.
It was cute, but there wasn't much about it that I loved or thought was OMG SO GOOD.
It was nice how they introduced diabetes however, and how dealing with health issues is a huge thing, and can cause stress at home and between people.
Overall, it was just okay.
