The Baby-Sitters Club Books & Other Nostalgic Middle Grade Reads
Does the sight of those familiar lettered blocks bring you right back to childhood? For readers of a certain age, news that the The Baby-Sitters Club books were being rebooted (again) into a series for Netflix no doubt brought back nostalgic memories of the entrepreneurial adventures of Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia and Stacey in Stoneybrook, CT. Children of the 1980s and '90s propelled the middle-grade series, originally penned by Ann M. Martin, into one of the most successful series in publishing and there have been many spinoffs and adaptations over the years and many more characters added to the mix.
