Horn Book Review
Color by Braden Lamb. Telgemeier's graphic-novel adaptations of the popular series, which follows the evolving friendship of four middle-school students who create a baby-sitting service, are published in full color. No-frills dialogue and dynamic panel illustrations skillfully convey sympathetic characters and an array of well-realized conflicts. [Review covers the following Baby-Sitters Club titles: Kristy's Great Idea, Mary Anne Saves the Day, and The Truth About Stacey.] (c) Copyright 2016.
