4-6Baby-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.
