Thank you to @scholastic_au for sending me a copy of this one. This was another fun adventure from the Baby-Sitters Club. This time they tackle baby sitting 14 kids for a week to help out Kristys mum to prepare for her wedding. I loved seeing more of Kristys relationship with her brothers and other family. I enjoyed seeing the Baby-Sitter club members creating a plan for all the kids they would be looking after for the week and changing things up when they needed. I love that these books are still relevant today and am enjoying the new covers.

Awesome illustrations and the book stays true to the original. I can’t wait for more of the books to be released.

I loved The Babysitters Club, so I am glad to see it reincarnated as a graphic novel series. I do miss having Raina Telgemeier as the author of the books, but Gale Gallignan is good, too. However, in Kristy's Big Day, some parts of the story were glossed over. It was like the author was worried about the book being too long, but didn't want to cut parts out. So instead, they were just two or three panels. Over all, the rest was good, and I enjoy Kristy's stepsister, Karen. I started out by reading Baby Sitters Little Sister, so I appreciate seeing her personality shine through in The Babysitters Club. While Kristy's Big Day was just ok, I'm looking forward to checking out more in the series!

Reading in chronological order (with the exception of The Kids in Mrs Colman's Class series).
An extra star for nostalgia. Loved this series as a kid and re-reading it is giving me all the warm and fuzzies.

It was fun to read about their wedding preps and remember being a child in the 80s.

As a kid I LOVED the Baby-Sitters Club and would often spend hours scouring the library for the next title. Honestly, I probably read the series longer than I should have (reading level-wise), but it always felt like visiting friends. While I have never wanted to be a babysitter, I loved the club idea. As a bossy creative kid this was right up my alley. The friendships in this book was something I had always wanted. This was a series I grew up with and was my favourite for a long time. Confession time, I may have had a bit of a crush on Logan.
I was working at the library and saw that this graphic novel come in while I checked material in. I was excited to see that Baby-Sitters Club was being introduced to another generation. I thumbed through the book and saw this was the same story with a few updates. While usually I am not a fan of updating original stories (as it gives us the time and place when something was first written), I was okay with this series being updated. Moving this novelized book into a graphic novel made it easier to accept new changes.
I would definitely recommend this one to those who once enjoyed reading BSC in the past. This is also great read for young girls between 9-12.
Kristy's mother is getting married and while she is against it - not wanting to move away from her friends - but she cannot resist a big job for BSC.
