This was my favorite from the series as a kid. As an adult I am confused as to why someone would let their 4 year old go sailing with an 8th grader.

LiteraryinPA Oh my gosh, I used to love this one! But yes, what a good point. I remember when I got to be 11, the age of the junior babysitters, I was disappointed because I didn‘t feel at all responsible or grown up! 4y
Megabooks Same. I loved this one!! What the heck were the parents thinking!! 4y
riversong153 Ahhh the beauty of fiction! Lol 4y

On the first episode of MANUARY on my podcast, I welcome Jack and Tanner from the Baby-Sitters Club Club (so, yeah, they‘re basically BSC aficionados) to talk about Super Special No. 4: Baby-Sitters Island Adventure. This book is utterly amazing and ridiculous and our LOL-worthy conversation reflects it. Jack and Tanner also argue worst babysitter and best book in the series. Click the link in my bio to listen! 🎧

Fave bookish friendships? The BSC of course! Thirteen years old before helicopter parenting = fun adventures, like this one where they're swept out to sea with a sick 4 year old! And I get a chance to read them again on my Kindle. Not the same, but I'll take it! 😉👍🏻 #augustphotochallenge #augustofpages #favebookishfriendships

DVGessner I just discovered yesterday that there is a Babysitters Club podcast! They read and discuss each book in order! 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub Yes! Yes! Yes! 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I've not read this special! The BSC books used to be book drug of choice ☺️👌 8y
Megabooks @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I don't know about iTunes. I don't have an iPad and my phone is small. I only read on my kindle. The BSC rules! 8y
Megabooks @DVGess That is so cool! What's the name? 8y
DVGessner @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Ebooksandcooks It's called The Baby-Sitters Club Club. I think they're up to book 32. I'm new to podcasts so I don't know if it's on iTunes but I just found it on the Podcast app on my phone. 8y
DVGessner I haven't tried it yet, it might be terrible 😃 8y

Hello! Book 4 of the #24in48 #readathon is definitely 5🌟 All the chilling, heart-pounding adventure I remember! Claudia, Dawn, and 4 kids on a deserted island. Will they survive? No seriously, this book is still awesome, and I'm so glad I have a second chance to own it on Kindle. Almost halfway to 24, and I'm going to try to get some 💤💤💤, but I'm not very sleepy. Night all!

angrylilasian I loved these!!! 8y
NovelGirl82 I loved them!!!! I feel like I'm reading slowly!! I hit the 12 hour mark, and only got through #3!! 8y
Carol I loved BSC! Especially the mysteries. 8y
DiruVamp Wow bringing back the memories! 8y
KilgoreTrout Ha I love this! I just noticed yesterday that some of these are available as ebooks from my library. These are exciting times we live in. 8y

Ok, since #FunFridayPhoto, I've wanted to re-read this BSC Classic! What better time than late into the #24in48 #readathon night! Also, I don't think they teach cursive anymore. I can barely read this! #21stcenturyproblems

LizGotauco Which babysitter are you, @Ebooksandcooks ? As a teen I was definitely a Mary Anne, but I like to think that with time I found some of my inner Claudia. 8y
Megabooks Having trouble tagging you Elizabeth! I was Claudia growing up, but I'm more Mary Ann as an adult. Funny that were opposites! 8y
Megabooks Also 13 year olds sailing with a 4 year old six miles into Long Island Sound? Can we say the opposite of helicopter parenting?? 8y
Melissa_D Ha, ha. I loved the Super Specials!! 8y

#FunFridayPhoto I was obsessed with the BSC, but my parents sold my entire series when I was in college!!! (I know, I was so upset.) Anyway, this one was always my favorite. I wanted to get stranded on a deserted island with the BSC! I bought it on Kindle, but I still miss my old, worn copy. 😥

Reviewsbylola ❤️ BSC. I posted about them today too! I am almost positive my parents got rid of all my books too. I will have to see if I can find a couple eventually to see what my daughters think of them when they are older. 8y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola Which one did you most relate to? For me, it was Claudia. I loved the art and the way she dressed! 8y
[DELETED] 2232195534 I saved all my daughter's books and then when they bought a house, I showed up with them and told her 'here's enough to fill a couple of shelves of a bookcase'. She's sharing them with her niece now. 😍 8y

bookishkai We used to trade them around in school in 4th grade. Of the originals I was most like Mary Ann, but I loved the additions of Jessi and Mallory later. 8y
Megabooks @kaysreadinglife yay! I love passing things down. 👍🏻😃 8y
Megabooks @bookishkris I would never trade mine. Only child. Not good at sharing 😉 I loved when Mary Ann and Dawn found the secret passage! 8y
