The book I decided to read for my November reading was, The Baby-Sitters Club by Raina Telgemeier based on the novel by Anna M. Martin. This is a story about 4 girls. Kristy Thomas, the president of the babysitting club. Claudia Kishi and she is the Vice President of the club. Mary Anne Spier and she is the secretary. Stacy McGill, who is the treasurer of the group. The story takes place in a town called Stoney Brooke and the setting is present day. The club was formed when Kristy and Mary Anne had to babysit. Kristy’s mom asked her to watch her boyfriend’s kids because none of her siblings would agree to babysit. This is when a light bulb went off for Kristy. So, Kristy called a meeting with Mary Anne and Claudie’s about forming a club. During their meeting, they decided they need another member and that is when they decided to ask Stacy to join the group.
Stacy moved from New York but readers learn that Stacy is not telling the truth about why she moved to Stoney Brooke from New York. In fact, the readers learn that none of the girls are telling the truth!
I rate the Baby-Sitter Club 10 stars out of 10. The reason I give the book such a high rating because the story has a lot of twist and turns. The storyline leaves the readers on the edge of their seats.
The book also showed me that you do not have to be a certain age, to form a club or start your own business. You can achieve this goal at any age
One of the lessons I learned from reading the book, do not automatically make a judgment about the person and their personality. You should never just automatically dislike someone, you should at least give them a chance.
After reading this graphic novel, I would place this book on the recommendation list for 7th graders. The book shows that age should not limit your ability to start your own business or club, you can do this at any age. The Baby-Sitter Club is the first novel out of a series.
