(3) 4-6 Baby-Sitters Club series. Illustrated by Raina Telgemeier. Color by Braden Lamb. The full-color graphic-novel adaptation of Martin's classic series continues. Volume four focuses on artistic daydreamer Claudia, whose frustration with "perfect" big sis Janine is exacerbated when their beloved grandmother has a stroke. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurial friends struggle with their latest venture: a playgroup. Telgemeier's art complements and updates the classic series, ably delineating the nuances of family relationships and friendships alongside babysitting hijinks.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Raina Telgemeier. While the club runs into a larger babysitting agency (run by older students more interested in money than in children) that threatens to put Kristy et al. out of business, club member Stacey comes to terms with overprotective parents, lost friendships, and her diabetes. No-frills dialogue and dynamic black-and-white panel illustrations skillfully convey sympathetic characters and an array of well-realized conflicts.
