Baby Sitters Club #03: The Truth about Stacey

1. I am not named after anyone.
2. I enjoyed The Babysitters Club books when I was a child. It makes sense that they had a character named Stacey in the books; it was a somewhat common name in the 80s. 🙂 (But she doesn't spell her name right. The correct spelling is Stacy 😉)

BSC #03: The Truth about Stacey | Ann M Martin

Whether you‘re looking for lessons in beating your competition in business, being an advocate for your own health, designing a killer Kid Kit, or simply being the best babysitter, you can find it in THE TRUTH ABOUT STACEY. This week on my book pod, I‘m lucky to have food and romance writer Rochelle Bilow to chat about all of it! 👯‍♀️💓 Listen at the link in my bio.

I was so mad on behalf of the BSC about the Babysitter's Agency. How dare those bitches steal their business!! They're not even good babysitters! This book does a nice job balancing that plot and the one with Stacey's parents going overboard with the diabetes care and taking her to a kooky fad doctor! Wtf Mr and Mrs McGill. Stacey indeed proves herself to be very mature, sophisticated, even, as she is repeatedly called (lol even she says it).

Out of the first few BSC books, this was one of my favorites as a kid. It still is! Reading as an adult, I‘m more proud of Stacey taking a strong stance on “my body, my rights”, when dealing with the constant new doctors her parents want her to see.

And the BS Agency, I forgot just how awful they were! I also realized Maya couldn‘t read any of the journal entries because they are in cursive.😬

This was so much fun!

I like how we get to learn a little more about diabetes and what it means to live with it. Even as a kid, I thought it was interesting. I also liked the whole "babysitting war" that was going on.

melissajayne One of my favourites in the BSC series. 7y

LazyOwl I read these as a teenager, very nostalgic 7y

Effischer @BookishGirl06 do you listen to podcasts? You need to listen to The Babysitter's Club Club. Two 30something year old men reading all of the books and talking about them. Very funny!! 7y

BookishGirl06 @penpal1016 I'm reading the kindle version cause I want to read them all but not sure if I have space for them or not. 7y
