It was fun to read about their wedding preps and remember being a child in the 80s.

RATING: 4 STARS
(Review Not on Blog)
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.
Kristy's mother is getting married and while she is against it - not wanting to move away from her friends - but she cannot resist a big job for BSC.

This review appears on my blog: https://confessionsofabookwormweb.wordpress.com/2020/11/11/book-review-kristys-big-day-the-baby-sitters-club-6-by-ann-m-martin/
Kristy's Big Day follows Kristy and the beginning of the summer and her mom and Watson have finally set a date for their wedding in the Fall. However, when something comes up with Ms. Thomas' job and a realtor finds a buyer for the house, the wedding is moved up to two and half weeks away at the end of June.
To add more stress to the situtation, various family members and friends descend on Stoneybrook to offer a helping hand, but they all have kids. However, Kristy and her mom come up with a plan to help keep the kids occupied - the Baby-sitters Club will babysit all 14 kids for 5 days while all the parents help with the preparations for the wedding.
Once again, I really enjoyed this installment in the series, especially since it covers the excitement and stress of a wedding. However, it also deals with the difficulty of having life drastically change - in Kristy's case it both gaining a stepfather and having to move to a new house. I think this is one of the things I have been enjoying during my reread of the Baby-Sitters Club books - they are fun reads, but yet they deal with real issues that many kids face. 5/5 Stars.

bibliotequeish's review against another edition
As a kid my best friends sister had the whole BSC series on a book shelf in her room. I thought she was so grown up. And I envied this bookshelf. And would often poke my head into that room just to look at it.
And when I read BSC, I felt like such a grown up.
And while I might have still been a little too young to understand some of the issues dealt with in these books, I do appreciated that Ann M. Martin tackled age appropriate issues, some being deeper than others, but still important.

This book was a fun and easy read. It was light hearted and entertaining. Now that I actually babysit I can see their inside scoop and love all their ideas. It was nice to see the contrast in characters and the craziness of their families. The high stress levels in this book made it so interesting because it was told from the kids point of view. Between the babysitting, moving, and wedding it was all just a fun read.

4 stars. Really enjoyed this. Such a cute, fun read. I loved seeing Kristy's huge family and all of her cousins and the baby sitters having to come in and help. It was definitely an adventure.

14 kids to take for in five days and getting everything ready for a wedding is a great job. The baby sitters club are growing up.
