She just moved to a new town, is still coming to terms with her diabetes, and is facing baby-sitting problems left and right. Fortunately, Stacey has three new friends -- Kristy, Claudia, and Mary Anne. Together they're the BSC -- and they will deal with whatever's thrown their way... even if it's a rival baby-sitting club!

Stacey McGill is the new girl in town. Before she moved to Stoneybrook, she lived in New York City. With her permed hair, cool clothes, and breezy-but-mature attitude, her new friends think she's wildly sophisticated. The truth is Stacey's a little shakey. She misses her old friends and the big city. Though she likes being a member of The Baby-Sitters Club, she's worried that they'll find out her big secret - she has diabetes.In this line of BSC graphic novels, illustrator Raina Telgemeier has done the beloved books justice. She has completely retained the original stories, lifting dialogue - speech and thought bubbles - directly from the original text. Her artwork is adorable, and the characters all look to be the proper ages. The graphic novels are just as squeaky-clean as the books upon which they are based, and I recommend them just as highly.
A must read for anyone with type 1 diabetes, or who knows someone with type 1 diabetes, or who likes to read a great book.I was driving when my 8 year old daughter announced that "Stacy has type 1 too, mom!" "Who is Stacy?" I asked her. "Stacy, the babysitter..." she replied. I started to tell her she didn't have a sitter named Stacy when I realized she was talking about the book she was reading, The Truth about Stacy. How cool! My daughter has type 1 diabetes and had found a heroine who she could really relate to!We got other BSC books from the old series to read (not the graphic novels), but they hadn't been updated the way the versions Raina Telgemeier illustrated and adapted. Kudos to Raina, who took the time to learn about type 1 and make sure the information was up to date and accurate.
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.
Our 9 year old daughter likes this line of books, but it is a bit deceiving with some of the content for that age group. These books are from a series from the 80's, but with a new twist and some older themes. I have to read them first to make sure it is appropriate for her.
I loved the original series when I was young and my daughter enjoys the graphic novels just as much. This is not the first book in the series, but I knew my daughter would be interested in the topic (a girl with diabetes). After reading this one, she has read the others as well in addition to Smile and Sisters (by the same illustrator).Now, how is it I am giving such a "junk food" read 5 stars? Well, I am not a book snob...I know some moms want their kids to read literature, but honestly my goal is that my kids love reading for life. I let them read whatever they want (and re-read, re-read, re-read). And yes, my evil plan is working...they love reading AND they are excellent readers. Leave the literature for school...this is the kind of junk that grows book lovers!!
For most this will be an outstanding addition to your library collection. My daughter cannot see well and she is deaf so the black and white print was not a winner at our house. The other books had been in color and my daughter was able to see and read it with pleasure. This one was tossed aside. I have pre-ordered the color version as this was disappointing, but we have a unique situation. For others, great book!
After weeks of hearing that so-and-so STILL had the Babysitter's Club books checked out from the school library...I finally broke down and bought them. While I can't say I've read them myself, my 8-year-old loves them...and now my Harry Potter-loving 11year old is reading them as well!
