A funny new middle grade series about three 12-year-old best friends who start a babysitting club in their small California town. Perfect for fans of series like Whatever After and the Dork Diaries.
Once upon a time, a girl named Kristy Thomas had a great idea: to form The Baby-Sitters Club with her best friends. And now 12-year-old Malia Twiggs has had a great idea too. Technically, she had Kristy's idea. (And technically, little kids seem gross and annoying, but a paycheck is a paycheck). After a little convincing, Malia and her friends Dot and Bree start a babysitting club to earn funds for an epic birthday bash. But babysitting definitely isn't what they thought it would be.
Three friends. No parents. Unlimited snacks. And, okay, occasionally watching other people's children. What could possibly go wrong?

Title: Great Book
Review: I bought this book for my 11 year old daughter! Its amazing. It's about 3 friends who work together to make 7th grade a blast. They run into a few forks in the road but in the end it was all worth it. I highly recommend it for 5-7th grade.

Title: Funny, smart, and engaging
Review: I absolutely adored the original BSCs, so I worried that I would be biased when I started reading this book - but I LOVE this book entirely on its own merits. It's very well-written and fast-paced, with surprising plot twists, relatable characters and great one-liners. Very funny and fun. I read it to my sons, who are obsessed with baby-sitters and older kids - and they think it's hilarious too. I can't wait for the next one!

Title: Hilarious and smart
Review: As a fan of the original BSC books, I was excited to get a copy of this for my 10-year-old. We both loved it. She responded to the humor and the realistic social scenarios, while I found the updates for modern readers (like the girls' use of technology and discussions about entrepreneurship) to be very refreshing. Plus it is so darn funny. I'm buying a copy for my niece, too!

Title: perfect for fans of wimpy kid and the popularity papers
Review: What happens when a mercenary twelve-year-old sees an old paperback of Kristy's Great Idea at a library book sale? Absolute chaos.In an effort to reinvent herself and drag along her two best friends, Malia proposes the three of them start a babysitting club to earn some money to throw a joint birthday party that might be able to compete with the lux parties their friends have been throwing instead of the same old picnic they usually do. But it turns out babysitting is actually a lot of work--and so is saving money instead of blowing it all at the mall.The story alternates chapters between Malia (who desperately wants to be cool to the detriment of almost every other aspect of her young life), Dot (who has a hippie single mother, an all black wardrobe, and dreams of finding her emo brethren in NYC one day), and Bree (who often feels overshadowed in her enormous blended family, dreams of befriending Taylor Swift, and wishes her BFFs wouldn't be in such a big hurry to grow up). The plot is pretty true to the BSC inspiration but with a bit more snark than even Stacey could have mustered in the originals.Give this to fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Popularity Papers, and any other stories with mercenary tweens doing the best (or more realistically the bare minimum) that they can.
