The Baby-Sitters Club - A Review by an Anonymous Teen

The Baby-Sitters Club, graphic novels, was a series I started liking since the first book. Over the summer between first and second grade, my Mom had placed a huge scholastic order. In the order there were the first five books in this series. I instantly became hooked. I read all five of them in the span of two days. Then I got the sixth book and read that two [sic]. 

For the next few years the process was painful: I would wait four to five months for a new one to drop, buy it, read it in two hours, then repeat. But I loved them, they were so good and I read and reread each book to the point where it was almost like I had memorized them. They were even the source of entertainment on the one hour drive to my Ninth birthday party: There were five or six of us in the car and so I brought my stack of Baby-Sitters club books and that kept people mostly quiet.

I wouldn’t consider it an era because I would spend so long waiting for new content to the point where I couldn’t be too obsessed, but I did really like these graphic novels and collected them up until the thirteenth book. I stopped collecting them after that because by now I was 12 and had grown out of them, but they are still a book series I love and appreciate for all the happy memories. They were definitely one of the best book series I’ve ever read, and they’ve sat in my book hall of fame for years and will probably never leave it.

(this is all thirteen books sitting on my shelf)
