This third in the Baby Sitters Club (BSC) series of graphic novels is my favorite so far. Raina's drawings seem more detailed and lively in each successive book. I've been buying the BSC graphic novels for my niece who is finding real inspiration in the artwork while simply enjoying Ann Martin's time-honored stories, and I heartily recommend this series both for the clean, yet engaging stories, as well as the excellent graphics. Especially recommended for girls who are reluctant readers, because graphic novels are many times a great introduction to storytelling in book form.

As a kid I read all the original Babysitters Club books. My daughter loves graphic novels, and mentioned these to me. I was confused at first after she said I got the wrong babysitters club book for her. It turns out these were redone for the current generation. I read some of it and it is really cool how the story is the same, but edited down and in comic form. My daughter really likes some of Raina Telgemeier's other graphic novels; Drama, Sisters, and Smile. I am not surprised she loves these. I also like that they are half the price on than at the store. I'm glad the stories I loved as a girl my daughter now loves, even if they are different.

Mary Anne Spier is an only child. With her late mother a distant memory, she really depends on her dad, her best friend Kristy (who is as loud as Mary Anne is quiet!), and her other friends, artistic Claudia and sophisticated Stacey, to bring her out of her shell. But she kind of likes being IN that shell. She also really likes being the secretary of the Baby-Sitters Club (which the idea-filled Kristy started) and baby-sitting kids in the neighborhood. When the members of the BSC have an unexpected fight, everything goes topsy-turvy, and Mary Anne feels very lonely. A little while later, she has a baby-sitting emergency. At first, she doesn't know what to do without adults or her friends around, but soon enough, she musters up the courage to speak up and do what needs to be done.I was a huge fan of the original BSC series by Ann M. Martin, and I absolutely adore the new graphic novels. Raina Telgemier has done a wonderful job preserving the original storylines and depicting the characters and their environments as they were described in the books. Mary Anne - who was always my favorite character - looks a lot like I always pictured her, braids and all. Three cheers for this, the third book in the BSC Graphix line!

I love the baby sitter club books they show true friendship. I never thought they would get into a fight.I have no concerns this book was awesome. This would be great if you were in 3 or 4 grade and up

My Daughter LOVES These Books!!!! As far as my daughter is concerned anything this illustrator touches is gold! If you or your child are a fan of these youth graphic novels then you will enjoy these. It is the classic old books but now with modern graphic novel illustrations to go with it. Im not sure if these are exact stories though from the original series as I did not read them when i was a kid. But my daughter says she loves the stories!She was a big fan of Drama series and says she reads these book the same day she gets them. I will be sending her every book in this series for sure!The value is way better than shopping in a bookstore so it is highly recommended to buy these books from ! The value is excellent and books always arrive in mint new condition. I ship these as a gift to my daughter whi is 11 years old who lives in another state...

Mary Anne saves the day is a great book for beginning babysitters. Mary Anne finds herself babysitting a child that comes down with a very high fever who has become listless and hard to wake up. She does an excellent job checking the child's temperature, remembering where the emergency numbers were and contacting the people on the list. This book is a great reminder of how to stay calm in an emergency situation and how to be organized in as well. Thankfully the young girl's problem was easily fixed, which isn't the case with the four members of the Baby Sitters Club. They have a falling out and try to run the club without actually speaking to one another. Over the few weeks that they are not speaking to one another, Mary Anne does a lot of growing up and learns to take charge, both in the above situation and at home with her father. It will take someone very strong and assertive to get the club back on track. Is Mary Anne up for the job? Read for yourself to find out!I'm happy to see my ten year old getting interested in this series. They bring out some important life lessons, like divorce, losing a parent, helping a sick child etc... They also show kids doing something useful with their time and making friendships last a lifetime, even when it gets hard. I enjoyed rereading this story as an adult and I'm sure your child will enjoy it too.By Kerri J. BusteedAuthor of Will's First Hunt Will's First Hunt

it was such a good book and seems so sad that MaryAnne's mom died but it does get her dad back with his past girlfriend and now Dawn is her BFF. it was a very realistic problem people that are best friends to fight over silly little things. Loced the book and want to read more!!!!!!!!!!!:^)-Clairebear the happy unicorn

I chose this rating because I LOVE the Babysitters Club Series!! I liked how Mary Anne settles her stress in this book and is more calmer than any of the other girls! I didn't dislike anything in this book! I would recommend these series to my friend Libby Borowiak! I would also recommend her some other books written by Raina Telgmier and Ann M . Martin!💕
