Stacey and the rest of the baby-sitters club is on summer vacation and they are all doing different things. The Pikes have hired Stacey and Mary Anne to watch their eight kids on their summer vacation to Sea city in new Jersey. It is a paid holiday for them and of course they agree.When they get to the Sea city, Stacey gets a crush on one of the lifeguards, Scott at the beach and spends time talking to him and not watching the kids whilst Mary Anne has to do make do with things all by herself. W...

I picked this up on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. The personalities of the main characters are very distinct, and interestingly there is a feature between chapters where the characters write postcards to each other, which shows that they present themselves differently depending on who they are writing to. That kind of psychological depth makes this worth reading. Additionally the art is really well done--particularly the splash pages.

I want Raina Telgemeier back...

I couldn't ask for a better comic adaptation of one of the most fun and juicy BSC books, Boy-Crazy Stacey! Gale Galligan's expressive art heightens the dramatic, romantic, and comedic moments; and the bright sunshiney colors and vivid sunsets bring to life the beauty (and kitschiness) of the seaside setting. The script hits all the right beats, not just in the main storyline, but including quirky family moments with the Pikes and side stories like Byron being afraid of water, Mary Anne getting a...

This was a good quick read book! It was light and fluffy, but what bugged me was when Stacey would totally ignore the kids she was babysitting and go talk to the cute lifeguard. Then Mary Anne was left alone to babysit 8 kids! Overall I’d say this book is a good book for middle schoolers.

Fantastic, fun, WE'RE 13, WE'RE TEENAGERS NOW drama. I enjoyed the pants off it. I actually read Boy-Crazy Stacey, BSC #8, because I've been listening to the Babysitters Club Club podcast and that book was perfectly fine, but this graphic novel winnows the chaff from Boy Crazy Stacey into a more focused, and more realistic, drama about beaches, boys and babysitting. If I remember correctly, in the original novel, Stacey actually goes on dates with Scott the dreamy lifeguard who's probably, like,...

I read this late at night in sub-optimal lighting, so I don't think I allowed myself to be 100% immersed in this fantastic book. Not that that deterred me from loving this. The art is amazing as always, I love how the postcards were done. I felt like Stacey's crush on Scott could have been expanded on more - for instance, we never got to see her fetching him a soda - but the looks on Mary Anne's face more than made up for that. This was a delight, and I'm so happy that the graphic novel fans got...

A cute, fun summer read. I love these books but miss Reina's art. She drew the first four books in this series, and while Gale Galligan's art style is very nice and expressive, I'm still having trouble getting used to the shift in the style. There is something about Reina's designs that I prefer.

I am amazed by how well I remember little details from the original chapter book, which I read TWENTY-SIX YEARS AGO.

Loved this so much - Gale's style perfectly captures that summertime nostalgic crush energy

I needed something warm & fuzzy and these graphic novels pack so nostalgia for me! I read BSC books growing up and it’s wonderful to revisit these characters in graphic novel format. I did miss my two favorites in this installment, Claudia and Kristy, but I’m sure they’ll be back for the next adventure, and yes, I will 100% be reading it.

So I finally got to this graphic novel version of the original book and there are multiple changes they made to this. While the overall plot is the same, numerous dialogues were either cut out or reduced greatly, which greatly helps in reading through at a faster pace. In doing so, they changed some of the wording a bit, possibly to give it a more "modern" update, along with the appearance of the girls as they wore clothing that resembles 2010s attire than 80s-styled. What I found to be a minor

A so-so story about friendship and summer crushes during a working vacation to the Jersey Shore for two of the babysitters. Mostly, the postcards that served as chapter breaks knocked me out of the story as I thought about how a true adaptation of this story to the modern day would include cell phones and that would radically change large parts of the story as Stacey completely ignored Mary Anne in favor of constantly texting Claudia for advice and affirmation. What happened here was fine, but n...

this is my all-time favorite BSC book so I'm pretty hard to please with any adaptation of it. I know we have to keep this series updated so kids today will read and relate to it, but I was still looking for toby's sunglasses ("black bands with narrow slits from side to side to see through") and the outfit of stacey's that mary anne borrows for their date ("yellow pedal pushers, a yellow and white striped tank top, and an oversized white jacket") not to mention the cow sign, the chapter where kar...

Here's number 7 in the Baby-sitters Club graphic novel series. The volume was beautifully designed and illustrated but I am so tired of the old "girl falls in love with boy and gives him all the power" theme. Please! Please! Please! can we let young girls know that they don't have to give away themselves in order to be "liked".

Meh, Stacey was never one of my favorites, and she didn't get any better with time. Love me some Mary Anne, though.
