(3) 4-6 Baby-Sitters Club series. Illustrated by Gale Galligan. Color by Braden Lamb. The club's latest babysitting job involves supervising the fourteen children of the family and friends helping to prepare for Kristy's mom's wedding. Kristy's convincingly confused feelings about her new stepfamily provide a through-line in this funny, somewhat episodic story. Galligan's graphic-novel adaptation of the 1987 novel shows the cheerful chaos and makes smart use of the girls' penchant for relating babysitting experiences via a shared notebook.

(3) 4-6 Baby-Sitters Club series. Illustrated by Gale Galligan. Color by Braden Lamb. Galligan takes over this series of graphic-novel adaptations with the tale of new member Dawn's difficulties with a sitting client's family situation--and with BSC president Kristy's resentments. Though Galligan's drawing style, with its wide-eyed depictions of Martin's sympathetic characters, is distinct from that of previous illustrator Raina Telgemeier, she maintains the series' accessibility.
