The Truth About Stacey: A Graphic Novel (The Baby-Sitters Club #2) (The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix)

I read all the Baby-sitter's clubs when I was a little girl and loved them. Strong young women, age-appropriate challenges. Overall super. We now have all the graphic novel versions for our kids, including our nine year old boy who likes them and our seven year old girl. I don't suggest getting only graphic novels for kids - I think there is something to reading a book with sentences arranged in a traditional way - but nonetheless the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels are well done and have helped to foster a love of reading and books in our home. It has actually resulted in the kids reading the older versions that I have from when I was little. The kid's liked getting to know about Stacey, that she was from New York (where they have visited), and I thought it was good for them to learn about Stacey's health problems to help them understand that people are different. They were able to relate it to some kids in their school who have health challenges. This one was illustrated by Raina Telgemeier and the kids like her a lot and have some of her other books. Some of the later BSC books are not illustrated by her and kids preferred her style, but like them all really.

Mi hija quedo feliz con su regalo de 9 años. Se lo leyo en un día.

Lovely book got it for my daughter she loves it soo much

I bought this for my neice she has expressed her dislike for reading, shes is 8 1/2. I thought If I got her interested in graphic novels she would start to like reading a little more as its only half reading and half just looking at the picture these books can be finished in about an half hour. I remebering reading the Baby Sitters Club when I was around her age so when I saw they had turned them into graphic novels I purchased them for her. She loves them and I have to admit so do I. They are illustrated very well and the original story is still there whats good also is that she is now interested in reading the rest of the actual book series. This one was our favorites as it had to do with Stacey and her battle with diabetes. It also deals with being responsible and being able to stand up for yourself, which I thought were good messages. I also liked that it updated the series I think the first baby-sitters club came out sometime in the early nintes so this brings it into modern times. the only thing I was suprised about however was the size of this book its roughly 1/3 the size of the other books in this graphic novel series so its a very short read. Good story good drawings and appropriate for younger girls.

Hey guys it's Mintstar from Weatherclan! Here is my review: Okay to be a hundred precent honest with you, Stacey is one of my least favorite characters in the series but, she does show a lot personality in this book. She stands up for herself and she tells her parents her feelings on certain doctors she goes to. She also talks to Ms.Johannessen about how she feels. When they put the "The Babysitters Agency" in to it thats where i started to cringe a little bit. Overall this was a pretty good read! I have to go and apprentice Cedarkit,Riverkit, and Brindlekit! May starclan be with you always! Mintstar

This book is one of my favorite books in the series and I like every thing about it the only thing I would change is the cover I don't understand why Stacy is in the corner and all the other club members are together because the only fight that happened was laine and Stacy so why is she all the way back there?? Also Smoking really this (book because of that) is for kids/tween/teens 10 and up. Other than that I really loved this book and I would definitely read it again.

Great for a preteen who still likes pictures on the pages.

I loved how it came on time and it’s an amazing book! I think other kids would love this.

My 8 year old loves the Baby Sitters Club Series. I wanted her to get into reading so I was looking for graphic novels to get her interested and encourage her into more reading.

My 13 year old recently discovered this series and loves both the printed and comic version.

Great book

今回はライバルとなる年上のベビーシッターが登場し そことのトラブルがいろいろあるようで。。。 そして毎回４人のうち一人にスポットを当ててるみたいで、 今回はステイシーという女の子です。 病気のことや喧嘩別れした友達とのことがテーマです。 話は面白く読み進められます。 少女達なりにそれぞれの悩みなどが「あ～そんなこともあったなぁ～」と 懐かしい気持ちになりました。 世代がちょうどの子なら共感するようなことが たくさんあるのでは。 よく見かける英会話教本よりもリアルな英会話を学べる感じがして良かったです。 「へぇ～。こんな時そんな風に言うんだぁ～」みたいに。 絵と一緒に読み進めてゆけるので文だけの英会話本よりも記憶にとどまり易かったです。 絵はシンプルだけど子供たちの表情はかわいらしいし、カラフルで見ていて楽しかったです。 読んでいる間なんだか自分もアメリカのとある町にいるような気分になれて それも読んでいて楽しかったひとつです。 早く次が読みたくなる♪

Very good series for pre-teens to read.
