First Sentence
Guys, I was such a Baby-Sitters Club nut growing up. I loved the books and read as many as I could get my hands on. When I found out that Raina Telgemeier was doing graphic novels I almost cried. I bought the first one and had been saving it for the readathon. I'm so glad Dewy's 24 Hour Readathon decided to do a reverse readathon in July because there was no way I was holding back till October.
Bringing together these fun stories with Telgemeier's art was genius. It was so fun taking a trip down memory lane. I obviously don't remember the books, since it's been so long, but this brought back memories and all the feels and I loved it.
I'm just so thrilled that a new generation of young readers will get to enjoy these in graphic novel form. It makes my heart so happy!
I think these books would be really good as graphic novels! And how fun to get a chance to revisit a favorite childhood memory. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a blast and totally worked as a GN.
DeleteThe kids at my daughter's elementary school grab up ANYTHING by Telgemeier. My daughter especially likes the Babysitter Club graphic novels, which is funny because I don't remember being into the series at all when I was a kid.

ReplyDeleteIt’s a great condensed version of the original.
