Martin and before they started to run out of normal plotlines. I always remember Jenny getting sick, but I'd forgotten about the fight between the babysitters. How realistic and refreshing that was!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690852339559706714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-47340617105101224732010-01-25T10:30:08.657-06:002010-01-25T10:30:08.657-06:00I used to read these!

I think Mary-Anne Saves The Day was one of about five that I actually owned. Is it the one where the kid she's babysitting is ill, and she copes and proves that she's grown-up enough to stop wearing pigtails? :DKatie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844778170761632779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-46519967716853001292010-01-25T07:18:00.622-06:002010-01-25T07:18:00.622-06:00Aww, a graphic novel of the Babysitter's Club!...Aww, a graphic novel of the Babysitter's Club!

It's so odd to me to see different artwork for Babysitters Club, as I always associate them in my mind with the original cover artists' depictions.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-21829783013599923182010-01-24T16:26:43.851-06:002010-01-24T16:26:43.851-06:00I have the first book in this series on my TBR pil...I have the first book in this series on my TBR pile.

I grew up reading the other. And early titles like this one had plenty of rereads. So reading the graphic novel is both strange and familiar. <br /><br />Amanda, I think I gave out a bit earlier than you--probably in the seventies. But I definitely read as many as I could back then.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793618692608823102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-74180920640661461322010-01-24T07:15:35.568-06:002010-01-24T07:15:35.568-06:00I definitely grew up reading them and loving them!...I definitely grew up reading them and loving them! I don't care how dorky they are, I'm still a fan! Claudia and Mary Anne were always my favorites...probably b/c I always played it safe like Mary Anne, but wanted to be Claudia!! I think I grew out of them around the time #105 was published, so I haven't read every single one, but close!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-41725808552871193322010-01-24T06:56:09.535-06:002010-01-24T06:56:09.535-06:00I read every single one of these books :) How doe...I read every single one of these books :) How does the graphic novel version compare to the originals?Tina's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313626164494986783noreply@blogger.com
