OMG! THIS SERIES is great. Personally, I like the different perspectives from each character because it gives us a peek into their lives. The Baby-Sitters Club is about Kristy Thomas, Claudia Kishi, Mary Anne Spier, and Stacey McGill. They are four best friends who formed a club. Together, they overcome many challenges. I think this series teaches people the importance of friendship, teamwork, and sticking together when things get tough. I just LOVE this series, and think everyone should read it. By the way, I like Kristy! I recommend this book series to those who enjoy graphic novels and reading teen tales about friendship.

Mallory Pike, Number One Fan (Baby-Sitters Club #80)

Mallory Pike, Number One Fan (Baby-Sitters Club #80)

By Ann M. Martin

Since as long as she can remember, Mallory has always wanted to be an author. Finding inspiration from successful children’s authors such as Amelia Moody, Mallory in confident that writing is her passion. So, when Mallory and her classmates are asked to write a research report about their dream career, Mal knows exactly what she will do. As she begins working on her report, Mallory notices that one of her favorite authors, Henrietta Hayes, lives in Stoneybrook! In fact, Ms. Hayes lives on the same street Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan live on. With much persistence, Mallory is finally able to talk with Ms. Hayes and is even able to land a job with her. Using Henrietta in her report for school, Mallory is sure that her report will be a huge success. But when some questionable information comes out about Ms. Hayes’ past, Mallory begins to wonder if her ideal role model is a fraud. I really, really liked this book! It was fun, engaging, informative, and overall, very enjoyable to read. As usual, Ann M. Martin allows the reader to learn many good life lessons. In the story, the reader can see that Mallory kind of has tunnel vision. She is so convinced that everything has to go this exact way that she often forgets that there are more ways to do things. I really appreciated the reminder that everyone has different ways of doing things. I suggest this book is you like babysitting, authors, books, and friendship. Happy reading!

Best Friends for Never

Best Friends for Never

By Adrienne Maria Vrettos

Hattie has only recently moved to Trepan Grove from New York this summer. Right away she made 3 new friends. Hattie hides part of herself, her cat t-shirts and love of fantasy books, so she can fit in. Everything seems to be great. Then school starts. After seeing popular girl Zooey being publicly de-popularized and humiliated, Hattie and her friends sign a friendship pact. But when Hattie unwillingly breaks the pact, her friends forget her. At first she thinks they are mad at her and are just ignoring her. But then she realizes it is part of the Harvest Festival curse, and they literally can't remember her. And everyday they forget again. How can Hattie break the curse? I think this book was an interesting twist on middle school popularity, and all the dramas with friendship and being true to yourself. I especially like how this book is clear in it's recurring theme against bullying. I recommend this book to elementary and middle grade girls. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Best Babysitters Ever

Best Babysitters Ever

By Caroline Cala

bsc

Malia knew that destiny had found her when she found The Babysitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea; a group of girls making money and babysitting kids. Making money AND hanging out with your best friends? That sounded like a deal to Malia. Plus this would help fund an AMAZING joint birthday party for the friend's 13th birthday. The little kid part sounded okay, but who really cares that. Teaming up with her best friends, Bree and Dot, the girls form a club "BAD Babysitters" more known now as "Best Babysitters". A rocky website, candy, and challenging kids are all part of the Best Babysitter's first time. But then a horrible thing happens. Chelsea, Malia's big sister, forms a club "Seaside Sitters" that also babysits as well as gets a HUGE number of jobs, has a fancy website, and is stealing all of their business! Now for the Best Babysitters this isn't just a babysitting crisis: it's a war officially! Sabotages, jobs, and mistakes all face the Best Babysitters. Will they take back the business and have an amazing 13th party? Overall, this was a fun and easy read that anyone would enjoy. Happy reading!

11 Before 12

11 Before 12

By Lisa Greenwald

If you like books that have a twist and are between the age of 8 to 12 I recommend the book 11 before 12 by Lisa Greenwald. Kaylan Terrel, the main character in the book is 11 years old and about to turn 12. She and her best friend Arianna Nodberg are going into middle school. Arianna and Kaylan decide to make a “Eleven Fabulous Things to Make Us Even More AMAZING Before We Turn 12” list. For example, they have to kiss a boy, undergo an image makeover, and highlight their hair. Arianna and Kaylan both think Jason, the boy who moved next door to Arianna, is cute. They have started to hang out as friends. However, Kaylan likes another boy named Tyler. Tyler is Kaylans brother Ryan’s best friend. Tyler is always over Kaylan’s house. Every time Kaylan sees or talks to Tyler, she doesn’t know what to say. A few weeks before school starts, Arianna and Kaylan got their schedules for school and they did not have any classes together, besides lunch. They have been at school for a little while now and things have started to fall apart. They haven’t been talking and they’re now in a huge fight. There is a lot more crazy stuff that will happen in this book, but I think it is time for you to read it yourself and find out what happens next. Will Kaylan and Arianna make up and be friends again? Will they complete their whole list? I hope you enjoy reading the book 11 Before 12 as much as I did.
