Dawn plans a big sleepover to celebrate a big event.

I used to read these when I was a child. My dad got these from a storage unit. I enjoyed this just as much as I did when I was a kid.

Just another lighthearted BSC mystery! These are fun to read to stay within the autumn/spooky/Halloween theme but as a break between heavier, creepier books.

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.

(1987) I've never read a BSC book, figured it wasn't my thing, but I saw this one in PEN America's list of book bans and picked it up out of curiosity. Per PEN, it was banned from libraries in Missouri's Fox C-6 School District. The reason for the ban is unclear to me -- maybe it's because a 13- year old girl talks about her "skimpy" bikini? I notice someone has strategically placed a sticker on the cover of my library's copy...

Smrloomis Huh, sometimes book bans are so hard to figure out. I personally find the BSC stuff to be so…bland. Just meh. 1y
swynn @Smrloomis Yeah, my take on SBC is about the same. No shade intended: I'm not in the target audience. It's the ban that has me fascinated. Because as book bans go, this is one of the more puzzling ones. 1y
mandarchy I have the graphic novel in my library (K-5). A teacher has asked me to stop checking it out because there's an image of people kissing. I just bob my head and smile. Like kids haven't seen that! But romance is rare in primary/middle grade lit. 1y
swynn @mandarchy " ... because there's an image of people kissing." smh. I guess keeping that out of library books will postpone middle schoolers' curiosity about kissing? I am the opposite of a child development specialist, but I'm pretty confident that's not how it works. Kudos to you for working the front lines in that battle. 1y
mandarchy @swynn yes. I find it hard to believe that book banners never kiss in front of their kids. Or didn't start kissing or crushing for a kiss in grade school. 1y

The graphics in this book are amazing. You can tell when a character is moving and all their expressions on their face give so much meaning to the text.

I really enjoyed this comic. I never really read any comics but I did not realize how much a comic can rail you in and you want to read more and more.

An iconic Stacey book. Also Mary Anne is badass in this one: she stands up to Stacey for ditching the Pike kids to hang around the lifeguard, and she asks a boy out on a date!

Lol at how the cover artist drew Scott the hunky 18-year-old lifeguard to look about 30!

annahenke This cover art is sooo hilarious 2y
LiteraryinLawrence I was thinking the same thing looking at the cover! 2y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @annahenke all the original BSC cover art is a good time, but this one takes the cake! 2y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @LiteraryinLawrence they often make the 13 year olds look like 17 so I guess they had to age up the older teen guy lol 2y
