(4) 4-6 Baby-sitters Club series. A prequel to the long-running series, this book follows Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey before they create their well-known club. Pre-teens unfamiliar with the series will be drawn in to the entertaining, if predictable, tale of friends trying to grow up but not apart. Longtime fans will enjoy this glimpse at favorite characters' origins.
