From the Publisher

From School Library Journal

Grade 5–7—Stacey is the new girl in town. She has made three good friends in a babysitters club but her memories of her old friends still haunt her. Many of them, including her best friend, Laine, ditched her after she was diagnosed with diabetes. Her parents aren't much help; they keep dragging her from doctor to doctor looking for a miracle cure. All Stacey wants to do is manage her condition on her own terms. An impending trip back to New York and a rival babysitting club has Stacey confused and nervous. Will she be able to reconcile with Laine? Will this new group, complete with sitters who can stay up late, end the club for good? The graphic adaptation of the hugely popular series has as much heart as the original. The girls' dedication to the kids they care for and to their friendship never comes off as hokey. The black-and-white cartoons capture each character's personality; the facial expressions say a lot. Each girl has her own style. The outfits have been updated but the skirts haven't gotten shorter. A solid purchase for both school and public libraries.—Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA

Our seven year old and nine year old really love these

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read all the Baby-sitter's clubs when I was a little girl and loved them. Strong young women, age-appropriate challenges. Overall super. We now have all the graphic novel versions for our kids, including our nine year old boy who likes them and our seven year old girl. I don't suggest getting only graphic novels for kids - I think there is something to reading a book with sentences arranged in a traditional way - but nonetheless the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels are well done and have helped to foster a love of reading and books in our home. It has actually resulted in the kids reading the older versions that I have from when I was little. The kid's liked getting to know about Stacey, that she was from New York (where they have visited), and I thought it was good for them to learn about Stacey's health problems to help them understand that people are different. They were able to relate it to some kids in their school who have health challenges. This one was illustrated by Raina Telgemeier and the kids like her a lot and have some of her other books. Some of the later BSC books are not illustrated by her and kids preferred her style, but like them all really.

She's got diabetes.

I have a super sensitive little gal who gets very upset when people are sick. I thought maybe the truth about Stacy was she had 3 nipples! I mean. I dunno! My daughter is 10 and liked the first baby sitters club book but got scared for Stacy (and herself...she's a germaphobe and instantly was afraid she had diabetes, too) so I'm just putting it out there in case anyone else has sensitive kids as well.

My daughter hates reading because she is dyslexic. I was SOOOOOOO happy when we found these at Barnes and Nobles. My daughter has regained so much confidence now that she can read with pictures again (at age 12). I read all of these when I was her age (no pix) and I REALLY wish they sold them in a big set so she can start with #1 and move forward without me having to buy each one.

My 9-year-old semi-reluctant reader adores this series (full-color version!) and ate it up. Hard to get her to put it down. I remember the original Babysitters Club series from when I was a kid; everybody loved it. This is a great modernization and great illustrations for great tween-girl stories.

Hey guys
it's Mintstar from Weatherclan!
Here is my review:

Okay to be a hundred precent honest with you, Stacey is one of my least favorite characters in the series but, she does show a lot personality in this book. She stands up for herself and she tells her parents her feelings on certain doctors she goes to. She also talks to Ms.Johannessen about how she feels.

When they put the "The Babysitters Agency" in to it thats where i started to cringe a little bit.

Overall this was a pretty good read!

I have to go and apprentice Cedarkit,Riverkit, and Brindlekit!
May starclan be with you always!

My 9 year old daughter loves these graphic novel books! We were so sad to learn that they are only making 4 of this series in graphic novels. Cute story line- same as the ones I read when I was a kid. These books are great for the kids who are still al little intimidated by a regular chapter book and for the ones who love to see pictures with what they are reading.

I bought this for my neice she has expressed her dislike for reading, shes is 8 1/2. I thought If I got her interested in graphic novels she would start to like reading a little more as its only half reading and half just looking at the picture these books can be finished in about an half hour.

I remebering reading the Baby Sitters Club when I was around her age so when I saw they had turned them into graphic novels I purchased them for her.

She loves them and I have to admit so do I. They are illustrated very well and the original story is still there whats good also is that she is now interested in reading the rest of the actual book series.

This one was our favorites as it had to do with Stacey and her battle with diabetes. It also deals with being responsible and being able to stand up for yourself, which I thought were good messages.

I also liked that it updated the series I think the first baby-sitters club came out sometime in the early nintes so this brings it into modern times.

the only thing I was suprised about however was the size of this book its roughly 1/3 the size of the other books in this graphic novel series so its a very short read.

Good story good drawings and appropriate for younger girls.

Finally, books that my daughter wants to read!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2018

I used to love the Babysitters Club series when i was growing up and i thought the comic versions would be an easier read for my second grader who reads at a third grade + level. She reads so well, but i’ve been having a hard time getting her to stay interested in books that she wants to finish reading. With these books, she finally wants to keep reading and wants to finish each book! My mom is diabetic and this book in particular has helped my daughter understand what that means.

Diabetes and competition!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

An honest and very healthy look at friendship, diabetes as well as competition. It shows the benefits of listening to children as they know what they like and it lets you be more supportive of them. It also shows that just because the teen is older or the name fancier that the care is better.

I really liked the growth and struggle of the characters making them far more real. Stacey is amazing for knowing what she can and can’t have but also what she wants with her condition! I hope the series continues to grow.

A favourite with my 11 year-old. Raina Telgemeier's adaptations are fantastic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

My stepdaughter loves these books. I read the original series avidly when I was her age, and I think Raina Telgemeier's adaptations are fantastic. She manages to modernise the original stories so that they are still relevant to my 11 year-old, without departing from Ann M. Martin's plot or characters. Although some things about teenage social life have definitely changed since the original books were written, Stacey still deals with some challenges that my stepdaughter can relate to today: standing up to her parents when they have strong ideas about what is best for her, handling younger children responsibly when looking after them, and dealing with competition.

I should note that my stepdaughter used to be a "reluctant reader". We were worried for a few years that she might be dyslexic, and it took a lot of encouragement to get her into books. But she really loves graphic novels, and these stories are perfect for her age and interests. It can still take her weeks to finish a chapter book, depending on how complex it is, but she devoured this within a few days. Being able to even finish a book in a few days (let alone one that she really liked, and which meets her maturity level) has given her a huge boost in confidence and encouraged her to keep reading. She also loved Kristy's Great Idea and I've just ordered Mary-Anne Saves the Day for her.

Mr. Roy Williams

it was very good. One point I'd like to make though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised at just how entertaining this book was.
The cover was what got me interested while browsing at a book shop.
I thought the Trouble with Stacey might be more sinister than it actually was.
The story was told in a very engaging manner and kept me turning the pages until very near the end.
Near the end...? Yes,that's when I realised that I'd nearly finished the book so stopped to take a 10 minute break before
reading the remaining chapter.I didn't want the story to end although when it did ,it was very good.
One point I'd like to make though,is that I would have liked the 'Ne'er do wells' of the BSA,to have been sucessful in some way.
I would've liked them to have been good at something other than baby sitting.
The Make-up and styling was a good idea,I thought.I felt a little awkward when they were laughed at.
I mean,come on,their flyer for BSA was pretty cool and the balloons a brilliant idea.
People like Liz just Have to be sucessful,right ?
Anyway,I've ordered the other two BSC books and am eagerly waiting to read them...,and read them again !
The artwork is very good and sometimes brilliant.There are some great details.
Oh,oh,the Kid kits was a fantastic idea and worked spectacularly too,well done Kristy.
The broad satisfied smiles on page 29 says it all.
I must mention too before I forget,the back cover picture is pretty darn good too.
You have to read the book to fully appreciate it.
