I received a copy of Good-bye Stacey, Good-bye by Gabriela Epstein from Scholastic Canada in exchange for an honest review.I absolutely love the graphic novels of The Baby-Sitters Club and in this 11th volume of the series, Stacey finds out that she is moving back to New York with her family. She experiences a lot of different emotions - excitement at returning to her home city, nervous about returning to a school where her former friends still attend, sad that she's going to be leaving all her
The Baby-sitters Club is back and this time it brings a sad tale with it. Stacey McGill moved to Stoneybrook over a year ago and became friends with Claudia and the rest of the Baby-sitters Club. She also became the club's treasurer. Now her dad's job is making them move again. Stacey is excited to move back to New York as she's missed the fast, city life but she's also devastated as she'll miss her friends in Stoneybrook. When the Baby-sitters Club members find out the news, they are also sad b...
Going into this, my only hope was that they would include the yard sale, my favorite part from the original book. It's in there! I don't buy that Stacey's dad couldn't commute from CT to NYC but...oh well....we know she'll be back eventually!
I'll be honest: I wouldn't have read this book if my daughter wasn't a huge fan. I never read the original Ann Martin book series when they first appeared in the '80s, but my wife read (and owned) all of them. My daughter discovered the graphic novel series, and has read---on her own---at least three of them. We have been reading a few chapters a night at bedtime."Good-bye, Stacey, Good-bye" is, I think, the eleventh book in the series, but we haven't been paying too much attention to the order
I don't know if I went into this with higher hopes than perhaps I should have or if we've simply reached the point where my nostalgia blinds me as this is about the time I jumped on board the BSC train waaaaaaaay back in the day, though it looks like we might not be getting that one in graphic novel form. It's sad seeing Stacey move away but I'm also old enough to know she doesn't stay away too long (and I cannot imagine this being one of the things the graphic novels change), especially since t...
Not bad, but could of been better.I liked the story and how it was about how sad everyone was when Stacy was moving And I aint no simp, but I had a crush on Stacy ever since the first BSC graphic novel came out, so its sad to see her go. Maybe Stacy will have guest appearances once in a while? At least this book was better than Boba fetts, HAHAHAHA. (because The book of Boba fett it such a dumb show. At least its improving a little bit.)edit:okay so the boba fett finale was super stupid, so that...
It was quite sad at the end and I loved this book! If you notice, on page 113 there is an easter egg. There is Raina’s book ‘Guts’ in the books section!
Excellent adaptation of what is ultimately a pretty plotless book, bringing vivid life and energy to to a simple "here's what happens when you move" arc about having a yard sale, packing, and saying goodbye to friends.
4.5 starsI love Stacey the most, so this book hit me right in the feels. Add in some adorable artwork, and this was even more enjoyable. I love the friendship between Stacey and Charlotte. Such a beautifully sad story.
I love these books! It was sad seeing Stacey go through the ups and downs of leaving her friends and town behind, but she knows that she has a great bond with everyone she’s met while in Stoneybrook and will take all of the great memories with her back to New York 💜
One of the things I really love about the graphic novel series is that some things happen just a little bit out of order, so I don't really know what to expect from future books. (Also, who knows how long this series will go on, so I wonder (view spoiler)[if Stacey will come back (hide spoiler)] at all.) But the fact that Mallory and Jessi are already in the Club (will Jessi's family still move into Stacey's house?), these minor changes mean that really anything can happen. So I'm excited to see...
I was huge babysitter club fan as a kid, so rereading a few of these new graphic novel editions has been like slipping into an old comfy sweatshirt with an updated design. So good and a good taste of nostalgia
A great addition to this series. I really like Gabriela Epstein's artistry and adaptation. It stays true to the original with landline phones and such without it feeling dated. Just so nostalgic!
