This one I think loses something in translation to graphic novel. I feel it’s a little rushed, in the way the chapter book isn’t.

The second graphic novel in the BSC series. This one focused on Stacey and her history in NY before coming to Stonybrook. Part of the book also focuses on how she needs to learn to deal with her diabetes. I loved these books as a child and I am enjoying the opportunity to read them again in this format! I enjoyed this book very much!

Maybe it's nostalgia, or maybe these books just stand the test of time well, but I've been loving these graphic novels and Stacey was always my favorite.

Nostalgic read for the month. What more can I say about these as a 34 year old woman?!

Love these books! Perfect for my middle school girls, especially the reluctant readers! Also brings back memories from my own childhood of reading. :)

What. Happened.

The first book was SO GOOD! This isn’t even the second book in the series. What happened to Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls??? Why wasn’t that one made into a graphic novel? More importantly, from what I remember, Stacey kept her diabetes a big secret from the other babysitters. I thought this book was about telling them, too. Even though I was disappointed in this book, I’m still glad I read it. There has to be a good explanation for everything that they did differently, right?

The graphic novel format was a fun way to revisit a book from the series I loved so much as a kid.

i didn't even know these existed until i came across them while looking for something else at the library. it was a cute way to flash back to the favorite series of my youth. while i don't remember the plot points very well, the storyline is pretty predictable, but there was still enough going on to keep me entertained. liked the art too
