Book Review of The Baby-Sitters Club: The Truth About Stacey

The Baby-Sitters Club: The Truth About Stacey
celeria avatar reviewed on + 174 more book reviews


Wonderful second graphic novel in the Baby-Sitters Club series, illustrated by cartoonist Raina Telgemeier. As she did in the first graphic novel, Telgemeier captures the spirit of four lively, determined adolescent girls while updating the original 80s material (for example, fake phone numbers no longer begin with "KL5"). Note that the second book in the original series, Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls, will NOT be published as a graphic novel; Scholastic felt that the plot was weaker than either Claudia and Mean Janine or Claudia and the New Girl, and as such, Mary Anne Saves the Day will be the next book published in the graphic novel series.
