Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-13 00:00:00 Patricia Pasionek I picked this up casually from the library, expecting it to be a fun little jaunt into my childhood. Friends, I was wrong. The awesomeness of this little graphic novel has inspired me to want to re-read every single one of the Babysitter's Club books ever. Raina Telgemeier does a magnificent job of capturing the girls' personalities in her artwork. This book is all about a fight among the girls in the club, and Telgemeier depicts their petty emotional tactics through the artwork, showing just how silly and childish they are being, rather than putting that into words. The stories have been updated just enough. The girls are still the way I remember them, but wearing clothes that wouldn't look out of place in the 2000s. Mimi looked just as I thought she would look. Mary Anne's dad, though - whoa. I thought he would be much more buttoned-up looking, but his beard is kind of...sexy? I feel weird writing that. 10 year old me would be disgusted to know that adult me finds Mary Anne's dad to be good looking. No wonder Dawn's mom was so into him in high school. Full review here:

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-19 00:00:00 Mark Freitas Another fun installment in this graphic novel series. Mary Anne is the character that I always identified with the most so it's nice to reach a story focused on her. After a fight with her friends, Mary Anne sets about finding some independence and learns to stand her ground a little more with her well intentioned yet overbearing father. Dawn arrives in this one! I love the artwork used in this series, and the way it brings a fresh take to a childhood favourite! I will continue reading them with enthusiasm! 💖
