The Baby-Sitters Club is Ann M. Martin's enduring friendship-and-growing-up franchise about a group of girls who start a babysitting business in Stoneybrook. The Graphix line adapts the original novels into highly readable graphic novels, keeping the core appeal of friendship, family, school, responsibility and small-business independence while making the series accessible to a new generation of visual readers. It is warm, realistic and emotionally useful, especially for readers who enjoy friendship groups, gentle drama and everyday problems that matter deeply at child scale.
A warm, hugely accessible graphic novel series about friendship, family, babysitting, growing up and everyday middle-school drama.
