Title: Babysitters Club Series Book #1: Kristy's Great Idea
Author: Ann M. Martin
Summary: Twelve year old Kristy one day watches her mom try to find a babysitter for her little brother David Michael. This gives Kristy the idea to start a club where you can reach five babysitters at a time, and only have to make one call. She calls her three friends Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacie, and soon the club is formed. Will it all work out as planned?
Comments: The Babysitters Club is really just such an iconic series; it shaped the lives of many girls growing up in the 90s when it was released and it continues to shape the lives of those (like me) who read the series now in the 2000s. This series of over 100 books is just such a part of pop culture; nearly everyone knows what it is. There have been movies, books, spin-off series by the author (Babysitter's Little Sister, Kids of Ms. Coleman's Class, etc.)
All the girls are likeable in this first book. The series, as it goes on, begins to deal with heavier topics, but this book is light hearted and really good.
This is just such a good series; you haven't read until you've read The Babysitters Club!
Complaints: None.
Rating: Five Stars!
