Karen Brewer is the young step-sister of Kristy Thomas - founder of the 'Baby-Sitter's Club'. I didn't read many of these growing up and I didn't even know about the 'Little Sisters' spin-off, but when a copy arrived damaged at work I took the opportunity to get to know better the series that so man...
This post has taken me far longer to write than I'd like to admit and I think that's largely because I found this book pretty lukewarm. The Doll People by Ann M. Martin (with pictures by Brian Selznick) was another one of those books recommended as a great book for the kids in your life who are tryi...

I write this review as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and thank Rosie Amber (check here if you would like to have your book reviewed) and the author for providing me an ARC copy of this novel, which I freely chose to review. Let me start by saying that this book is a pretty wild ride. I quote ...
I'm not even counting this as a book I read, because I skimmed a LOT! I just didn't really care about the characters or the events in the plot. Like, at all. And it seemed pretty predictable. I think part of my struggle was the length of the book. It could have been like 1/2 as many pages. Everythin...
Hattie Owen enjoys peaceful Millerton summertimes with "houses nodding in the heavy air," being in charge of Miss Hagerty's breakfast tray at her parents' boardinghouse, and drinking lemonade on the porch after supper. Yet this year, it's different -- Hattie's uncle Adam is coming home. Returning fr...
What I liked most about this book was the curiosity, honesty and instinctive kindness of Hatty Owen, the character from who's point of view the story is told. The action of the book is set in the summer of 1960 in the American small town of Millerton. Hattie is eleven, almost twelve, and is deeply c...
The aesthetic in the comics doesn't feel true to the original series (still holding out hope that Claudia's outfits get weirder/more fabulous), but the story does (probably because it's the same story... no noticeable updates there). I think I enjoyed this one more than Kristy's Great Idea. The ni...
I read this on January 12 in one sitting and I loved it! I'm definitely checking out the other editions that my work has. It is so 90s though--Stacey just moves in from NYC and is automatically accepted as a valid babysitter with no proof of any experience or certifications at all. Also, she moves j...
I'm happy that these comics are introducing a new generation to the Baby-Sitters Club. However, I'm not a huge fan of the format. For me the best parts of the books were the descriptions at the beginning and every one of Claudia's outfits. Telgemeier tried but will never be able to capture the magic...
