Babysitters Club Graphix #1-7 Box-Set: Full-Color Edition (Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novel)

Product Information

The Baby-Sitters Club: Friends Forever: These novels are an extension of the original series, which focused on the original four members (Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey). They were set following the fire at Mary Anne's house, which drastically impacted the lives of The Baby-Sitters Club members, and concluded with a final Super Special detailing the older club member's graduation from Stoneybrook Middle School. 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. Mary Anne is the secretary of the club due to her exceptional organizational skills and neat handwriting. Her hobbies include sewing, knitting, watching classic movies, and reading. She and her best friend, Kristy, initially looked similar (but had very different personalities) until Mary Anne cut her hair and began wearing a little makeup in Mary Anne's Makeover. She also vowed never to get her ears pierced due to being traumatized by almost having her ears pierced by a fellow camper at Camp Mohawk. [8] Mary Anne and Kristy have been best friends since childhood and were neighbors until Kristy's mother married Watson Brewer and Kristy had to move to Watson's new neighborhood. Mary Anne's mother Alma died from leukemia when she was a 18 months old, and her father Richard (who is a lawyer) was very overprotective until he married Sharon Schafer and loosened up. She is very sensitive, and shy, is a good listener, and does not like being the center of attention. In Logan Likes Mary Anne! Mary Anne starts going out with Logan Bruno, and she is the first member who has a steady boyfriend. Mary Anne has a stepsister named Dawn who is 12 later 13, a stepbrother named Jeffery "Jeff" who is 9 later 10, and a gray kitten named Tigger. She has four grandparents, Verna and Bill Baker, and Rita and Pop-Pop Porter. In Mary Anne and the Secret in the Attic it is revealed that she lived with her grandparents Verna and Bill Baker before her father raised her on his own. Mary Anne is played by Meghan Lahey in the HBO series, Malia Baker in the Netflix series, and Rachael Leigh Cook in the film adaptation.

Martin Super Mysteries: These resembled the style of the Super Specials, with multiple narrators, only the plot of the novel was mainly focused on solving a mystery, with a few small subplots. Appearance: White, very pretty and tall, thin, looks older and a model, short wavy blonde hair right below her shoulders that she often gets permed or curled, huge dark blue eyes with dark lashes, trendy clothesNovels 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. Portrait Collections: These are autobiographies of The Baby-Sitters Club members (Stacey, Claudia, Dawn, Mary Anne, Kristy, and Abby). Mallory and Jessi were not included because the autobiographies were an eighth grade project only. Logan and Shannon were also not included because they were either unpublished or unwritten.

In 2006, Graphix, a division of Scholastic, released a graphic novel version of the first novel, Kristy's Great Idea. The novel is a contemporary yet faithful adaptation illustrated by Raina Telgemeier, an Eisner Awards-winning author and illustrator. The series continued with the release of The Truth About Stacey, Mary Anne Saves the Day, and concluded with Claudia and Mean Janine. It depicted the lives of Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey the summer before the school year began. [21]The book mainly takes place at the New Jersey Shore called Sea City. The reason I say that is because Stacy and Mary Anne are babysitting the Pikes on their annual beach vacation. Stacy and Mary Anne bring the kids to the beach almost everyday because thats what they love even though they could get sunburn-like Mary Anne. If they don’t go to the beach then they go on the boardwalk. It also shows that it’s at the beach because Stacy is talking to a lifeguard that is looking over the ocean to see if he needs to go save someone or something. Lastly, since it is a graphic novel it shows you pictures of the beautiful beach settings. It’s also worth considering that there are 131 Baby-Sitters Club novels in the original series – plus dozens of spin-offs and 122 Baby-Sitters Little Sister novels. That’s a lot of material to adapt! Considering it takes a long time to draw a graphic novel, it’s possible Scholastic may not get around to adapting them all. Baby-Sitters Club: Claudia and the New Girl cover by Gabriela Epstein. The Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels Since its publication the series has been adapted into other forms of media. Two TV series were made, the first ran on HBO in 1990 and a reboot by Netflix ran between 2020 and 2021. A theatrical film also premiered in 1995. It’s unclear why The Ghost at Dawn's House and Little Miss Stoneybrook ...and Dawn have not been adapted into graphic novels, but it's likely either due to plot or character reasons. Currently Dawn has only been the narrator of one book, while Mallory did not narrate a book until Mallory and the Trouble with Twins (her debut book was integrated into Dawn's).
