The Baby-Sitters Club: The Truth about Stacey

141 pp. | Scholastic/Graphix | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-439-86724-X $16.99 | Paper ISBN 0-439-73936-5 $8.99
(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.
