The next in the Babysitters Club Graphic Novel series – originally written by Ann M Martin and adapted by Cynthia Yuan Cheng! Stacey is so excited! Her friends from The Baby-sitters Club are coming to New York City for a long weekend. It’s going to be perfect: a party and a sleepover on Friday night, a big baby-sitting job on Saturday, and lots of sightseeing throughout.

But it turns out that the baby-sitters are way out of place in the big city. Mary Anne sounds like a walking guidebook, Dawn is afraid of everything, Kristy can’t keep her mouth shut, Claudia is jealous of Laine – Stacey’s New York best friend – and Mallory and Jessi feel intimidated by Stacey’s classmates. With ten kids to baby-sit and a full schedule of activities, how will Stacey keep the weekend from becoming a complete disaster?

A brand-new story from the original author

The series that has been entertaining children for generations

Full-colour graphic novel

Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends and founding members of THE BABYSITTERS CLUB. Whatever comes up – cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors, prank calls – you can count on them to save the day.

Babysitting isn’t always easy though, and neither is dealing with strict parents, new families, fashion emergencies, and mysterious secrets. But no matter what, the BSC have what they need most: friendship.

Raina Telgemeier, using the signature style featured in her acclaimed graphic novels Smile and Sisters, perfectly captures all the drama and humor of the original novel!
