America’s favorite baby-sitters come to life in a new graphic novel series!
Poor Stacey. She’s moved to a new town. She’s still coming to terms with her diabetes. She’s facing baby-sitting problems left and right. And her parents are no help.
Luckily, Stacey has three new, true 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!
The Secret’s Out 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.
The Truth about Type 1 Diabetes! 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.
