Truth about Stacey: Full-Color Edition (the Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2) (Revised, Full Color)
Truth about Stacey: Full-Color Edition (the Baby-Sitters Club Graphix #2) (Revised, Full Color) | Ann M Martin
35 posts | 45 read | 10 to read
Poor Stacey. 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! Raina Telgemeier, in the same signature style featured in "Smile" and "Sisters," perfectly captures all the drama and humor of the original novel!

I never read many of the Karen books so I don‘t remember her having a #Turkey but I was obsessed with the original series in grade school and read almost nothing else for a whole year. I must have owned dozens of them! #NovemberNarrative @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Never read any of these-they sound fun 🤩 1y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I used to read these all the time. Recently found a box full of them when clearing out my mother's place. 1y

Third book in the original Babysitters Club series done. I'd forgotten what great messages are in these books. Stacey's diabetes, friends, running a business. Dealing with unfair ethics. Brilliant. #43-2022

bibliobliss Feeling sooo much nostalgia looking at this post ❤️❤️ 2y

in which we learn more about Stacey's backstory and wonder why the mother of a newborn would hire an 8th grader (and then a 7th grader) to take care of the baby

(I enjoy these graphic novels very much and feel good about my decision to focus on them rather than the og novels.)

(quarantine book #113; read a book featuring a character with a chronic illness)

Going back and re-Reading these, I realise how well put together this series was and how it balanced fun reading with important life messages for kids. And the art is A+ too.

I really enjoyed this one. There were a number of great messages for young people, especially girls. This book focuses mainly on Stacey, her struggles with Diabetes and her desire to have more say on the decisions that are made about her body. Can‘t wait to read book #3.

Saknicole I remember that one! I can't believe they made graphic novels of those. Babysitters Club forever. I loved the movie too! 5y

#SpringIntoReading Day 20: These graphic novel adaptations of Baby Sitters Club #RemindMe distinctly of my Sweet Valley High days. It also reminded me of a time when young people are not that overburdened with so many out-of-school activities or too preoccupied with schoolwork, such that they have spaces of time that would allow them to have projects such as these. Life is so different now, clearly. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jWs

Thank you to @thebluestocking for today‘s #bookmail!! BSC were my absolute favorite books when I was younger and I‘m so excited to add them to my girls‘ library. We‘ll see if they‘ve stood the test of time or if my kids find them totally dated and hokey. 😆

Hooked_on_books Wow! Look at all those! What fun. 5y

Before I return this book to the library - I‘d just like to point out that from my experience - there‘s nothing more fierce than a mad tween girl wearing an animal ear beanie.

Blaire 😂😂😂. I‘ve been listening to the baby-sitters club club podcast where two 30-something dudes read and discuss this series and it is hilarious and wonderful. 6y
LauraBeth @Blaire 😂😂 I wish I had been the perfect age for this series when it was originally published - I would have LOVED it! I‘m going to check out that podcast! 6y
Blaire @LauraBeth yes, I loved it as a kid. I was around 7-8 when they first came out and read them for years! Hope you enjoy the podcast. 6y

These Babysitter Club graphic novels that are illustrated by Raina Telgemeier are delightful. These would be a great walk down memory lane if you grew up reading BSC. They‘re also just a fun and sweet palate cleanser. If you have middle grade readers who love Smile and Drama - put these in their hands.

sammisho My 11yo loves these! She won't read the originals though! 6y
LauraBeth @sammisho 😀 I can see why! I‘m not sure I‘d want to read the originals either after reading these. 6y
GatheringBooks i agree! i read the first one, sooo good! 6y

4⭐️ I really like how Raina has updated these stories. The graphic novel format makes them quick and fun to read. This edition looks at Stacy and her struggles with her diabetes. Doctors visits, treatments, food, etc. Plus the BSC gets a little competition from the Baby Sitters Agency, but only one group can come out on top. Plus now is the perfect reading time as this one takes place over the holidays.

On All Saints Day, which I celebrate for the half-priced candy, I read a book checked out on the week of the 21st anniversary of my #type1 diagnosis. While I cringed at the authoritarian nature of Stacey's dad ("Your mother and I make the decisions" re: Stacey's medical care ?) and her complete candy avoidance, I appreciated the otherwise accurate portrayal of a young diabetic.

Good use of illustrations, suspenseful BSC plot. Held up as adult.

I flew through the first one in this series last night. I loved all the BSC books when I was little and these adaptations are fabulous!

Whoops, I mixed up volumes 2 and 3 which I read at the same time. This book provides more backstory with Stacey's diagnosis and treatment and also has more new friend drama and babysitting problem solving. A solid followup to the first graphic novel. #mommyreads #graphicnovel #adaptation #ebook

Even better than the first! This book covers Stacey's medical appointments and her parents gradual acceptance that diabetes is forever and not the end of the world. It heralds the arrival of the kid-kit and the rise and fall of the Baby Sitters Agency.

Working the book fair this week. The babysitters club has been turned into a graphic novel. I think my child needs this.

josie281 My daughter and sons love these. She isn't a love to read type so it's nice to see her embrace a series. 7y
minkyb I have to tell my adult daughter about this. She read all the babysitter's club books. In fact, I think they are in my attic. 7y

Taking a small study break. Nostalgic read! Loving it!

PenguinInFlight Omg, I was obsessed with those as a tween! ?I remember getting really excited for the longer "super specials" that starter each chapter with one of the girls' handwriting. 7y
BeckyRoy I was obsessed too. This is a graphic version. I learned about it last weekend at Barnes and Noble and I just couldn't resist! 7y

Yesterday my kids had fencing practice which meant a few minutes to read the second Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novel, which I stole from their library basket. #noshame

So awesome! Features a mean rival babysitting club + Stacey's diabetes (not a spoiler!) including some backstory + what it is/how she manages it. Also featured: KID-KITS! I wanted one of these so badly when I was a kid 🙋🏻

This graphic series is great ⭐️ BSC Forever!

OSChamberlain As a type 1 diabetic myself, gotta say that's pretty awesome! 8y
Chessa OMG Kid Kits!!! I wanted one, too. But, like, for me. I didn't want to actually babysit. 😂 8y
LauraBeth Thanks for posting this - my mom has diabetes and today she told me that her leg has to be amputated 😔 seeing this actually cheered me up a bit knowing others deal with it have to cope 8y
