I would definitely recommend this one to those who once enjoyed reading BSC in the past. This is also great read for young girls between 9-12. On April 30, 2019, it was announced that there are plans for a series of Baby-Sitters Little Sister graphic novels illustrated by Katy Farina and colored by Braden Lamb. The first graphic novel, Karen's Witch, was released on December 26, 2019. This was followed by Karen's Roller Skates which was released on July 7, 2020, Karen's Worst Day which was released on December 29, 2020. Karen's Kittycat Club was released on July 20, 2021, Karen's School Picture was released on February 1, 2022, Karen's Birthday was released on January 3, 2023, Karen's Haircut was released on July 4, 2023.

The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix (15 book series) Kindle edition
Stoneybrook is a fictional suburban town in the state of Connecticut. It is the hometown of many of the characters in both The Baby-Sitters Club series and the Baby-Sitters Little Sister series as well. The town was based on Princeton, New Jersey where Ann M. Martin was born in. Stacey and the rest of the baby-sitters club is on summer vacation and they are all doing different things. The Pikes have hired Stacey and Mary Anne to watch their eight kids on their summer vacation to Sea city in new Jersey. It is a paid holiday for them and of course they agree. Novels that focus on a spooky mystery, such as Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls and The Ghost at Dawn’s House have been skipped. I assume these haven’t been adapted as they deviate from the usual tone and story structure that the franchise is known for. It would make sense that Scholastic would want tonal consistency with the graphic novel adaptations.

As a kid I LOVED the Baby-Sitters Club and would often spend hours scouring the library for the next title. Honestly, I probably read the series longer than I should have (reading level-wise), but it always felt like visiting friends. While I have never wanted to be a babysitter, I loved the club idea. As a bossy creative kid this was right up my alley. The friendships in this book was something I had always wanted. This was a series I grew up with and was my favourite for a long time. Confession time, I may have had a bit of a crush on Logan. So I finally got to this graphic novel version of the original book and there are multiple changes they made to this. While the overall plot is the same, numerous dialogues were either cut out or reduced greatly, which greatly helps in reading through at a faster pace. In doing so, they changed some of the wording a bit, possibly to give it a more "modern" update, along with the appearance of the girls as they wore clothing that resembles 2010s attire than 80s-styled. What I found to be a minor annoyance was that Scott was changed from a 17 year-old blonde lifeguard to a 15 year-old tanned brunette. Not sure if it's because a 13 year-old crushing on a 17 would sit uneasy today, but the way he's draw still makes him look older than 15. Additionally, conversations between Scott and Stacey were cut even more, so it didn't have the same impact as the original of a crush.
