We're delighted to partner with Scholastic to celebrate the Summer of The Baby-Sitters Club! As part of our celebrations, National Book Award longlister and Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T. Crenshaw will join us to discuss her Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel, Stacey's Mistake. Filled with tween drama, NYC sightseeing, and, of course, babysitting, Stacey's Mistake is the perfect summer vacation read. We can't wait to hear Ellen talk all about it!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Stacey is so excited! Her friends from The Baby-sitters Club are coming to New York City for a long weekend. It's going to be perfect -- a party and a sleepover on Friday night, a big baby-sitting job on Saturday, and lots of sightseeing throughout.
But it turns out that the baby-sitters are way out of place in the big city. Mary Anne sounds like a walking guidebook, Dawn is afraid of everything, Kristy can't keep her mouth shut, Claudia is jealous of Laine -- Stacey's New York best friend -- and Mallory and Jessi feel intimidated by Stacey's classmates. With ten kids to baby-sit and a full schedule of activities, how will Stacey keep the weekend from becoming a complete disaster?
