Passing the tradition to my grandchildren

My daughter loved these n Books…she couldn’t wait for the next one to come out. I am now searching for them for my granddaughters! Wonderful books!

The first Babysittes Club book I read

I'm 28 years old, and I recently moved. While cleaning out my house to pack for the move, I ran across a box of Babysitters Club books that I read when I was younger. I had forgotten about those since I hadn't read them in many years. I was 13 when my dad bought Mary Anne Saves the Day for me at the local grocery store. He said I could get a book and that one caught my eye. I read it when I got home, and I was hooked. Since then, I bought books 1-3, and then each book after that every month when it came out. I was 18 when I stopped reading them. I felt I had outgrown them. When I recently found those books, I reread them all, starting with Mary Anne Saves the Day. It brought back a lot of memories, and I am now collecting them all again for my own daughter, if I ever have one.Mary Anne Saves the Day is about a shy 12 year old girl who lives with her single father, who is very strict when it comes to raising her. She belongs to a great group of friends who run a business called The Babysitters Club. During one of her jobs, a little girl grows ill while in her care, and Mary Anne must use quick thinking to get the child to the hospital. These are wonderful books for children. It's a shame Ann M. Martin is no longer writing them, but they will be always cherished

One of the Best!

This book is one of the best in the series, in my opinon. The BSC gets into a huge fight. Unlike another reader (who called the BSC the BBC, what's with that?) I think this book is NOT predictable. It looks like Mary Anne and Claudia are going to stay friends but NOPE!Buy this book!

How Mary Anne got to be the wonderful person she is today!

I loved this book! The portrayal of how difficult it is for a girl to be without a mother is real. Mary Anne's dad also STILL makes her wear childish clothing & wear her hair in braids. Her dad means well, but doesn't always understand her & Mary Anne desperately needs a mother in her life. She gets into a HUGE fight with her friends that leaves her in tears, then meets Dawn & her mom, Sharon. You might say it was the beginning of the crazy Schafer-Spier family then, especially when Dawn & Mary Anne discover that their parents dated in high school. But, too bad Sharon & Richard's parents didn't like each other & separated them. So...there's a new twist...will Mary Anne & Dawn be able to re-unite them? But the best scene is when Mary Anne is baby-sitting little Jenny & Jenny runs a high fever & Mary Anne stays calm & acts responsibly. I like how even though she's sensitive & cries easily, she's doesn't panic or fall apart in an emergency. Here you begin to see that she is one courageous girl & her dad begins to see it, too & realize that she doesn't need to be "protected" all the time. Mary Anne is one person to be proud of!

Awsome!

I loved this book! It was so realistic, and I have nothing bad to say about it. It is about this girl named Mary Anne who gets in a fight with the BSC and has trouble making up with them. Then she meets a new friend Dawn. Then a girl Jenny she was baby sitting for gets so sick that something drastic had to happen envolving Mary Anne and Dawn. If you want to know more, (which is what I'm trying to make you) read this book! I would reccomend this to all girls!

Friendship on the test.

This is the first BSC book where their friendship is put on the test (not counting book #1, which also contains a fight, but not as serious as this fight). Mary Anne is being called a 'baby' and she's not happy at all about it. The rest of the BSC are mad at each other over everything and the BSC was to break up if this doesn't get better. Not to mention when the BSC almost ruined Jamie Newton's birthday party. Then, when Mary Anne goes on a job with Jenny P., Jenny gets a super high fever. Mary Anne called Dawn, a new friend of hers and they help Jenny work things out to the hospital. That's when Mary Anne's father realized that she wasn't a little girl anymore, so he let her stay out later on jobs. But does this mean the BSC are back together? Read the book and find out for yourself. I rate this book a nine because it was good, but not exactly excellent.
