Kristy's Great Idea Graphic Novel

In this first book in the series, three girls who have grown up together start new adventures.  They all babysit, but sometimes it can be challenging for parents in their town to line up a sitter.  Kristy gets the idea to create a Baby-sitters Club, where the three girls and a new girl named Stacey all gather with their schedules ready, and the parents only have to make one phone call to access four girls.  It follows their adventures from dog-sitting (something they decide the club doesn’t do) to getting to know Kristy’s potential step siblings.  Along the way, they learn a lot about baby-sitting and friendship.  I absolutely LOVED the Baby-sitters Club books as a kid.  I worked hard to collect all of the books, and they were proudly displayed on my bookshelf in my room.  It was interesting to see the graphic novel depictions of each of the beloved characters and to go back and relive the adventures of the girls.
