The Truth about Stacey by Raina Telgemeier, Ann M. Martin
4.0
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.
In book, we find out more about Stacey and why she always says no to sweets and needs to visit NYC every so often.
