As a kid my best friends sister had the whole BSC series on a book shelf in her room. I thought she was so grown up. And I envied this bookshelf. And would often poke my head into that room just to look at it.
And when I read BSC, I felt like such a grown up.
And while I might have still been a little too young to understand some of the issues dealt with in these books, I do appreciated that Ann M. Martin tackled age appropriate issues, some being deeper than others, but still important.

might have been slightly chaotic to read the 10th book first (it was on the shelf at my library) but I've watched the Netflix show so I basically know the important plot points, aside from the parts that diverge from the books
also, when I was younger I read the Baby-Sitter's Little Sister books featuring Karen but never the actual Baby-Sitters Club books since at the time I was a bit too young for them. my older sister, on the other hand, read the BSC books and owned a few but I ended up not reading them, so it's interesting to read a graphic novel adaptation of one of them as an adult. I think the more diverse cast in the Netflix show makes it much more appealing, but I'm glad the graphic novel adaptations are bringing artists of color on board. I happen to follow the artist on twitter.
Louie and Shannon though

Another great installment. It’s so much fun to remember the story from childhood as I read it again as it’s been reimagined.
