Great graphic novel based upon the babysitter‘s club book of the same name. Granted it is a little streamlined, but it is a graphic novel after all.

Jessi may be the most interesting of the baby-sitters.

Probably my fave of the series so far, remember loving it as a kid, too. Appreciate discussion of what it‘s like for Jessi‘s family as one of very few Black families in town. Also liked that this has a much more focused plot w/little side-story (and what there is ties into the main story). Can‘t speak to the deaf rep but felt respectful & was cool to see kids get excited about learning ASL to speak w/Matt. Surface level but still important. 4/5 ⭐️

I like this one too. I love that we see awareness of deaf children and sign language in it, combined perfectly with ballet which doesn‘t need any talking to understand.
