Ok, the babysitters are getting to be a little whinier than my 10 year old self remembers...but I wasn't a mom then. Ha! The cover on this one is different than the one I had growing up. I remember that one was mint green and Stacey's smile was weird---like she had blackened teeth. Anyway...moving right along... !!! ( )

This graphic novel is about a teenage girl named Stacey who struggles with diabetes and is trying to fit in with the new community she just moved into. I support the fact that this graphic novel included someone who has diabetes because many students don't really understand how it works and how it can affect a persons life. It would be a great read for pre-teen girls because they can probably relate to many parts of Stacey's lifestyle for example, finding true best friends that will support you no matter what. ( )

In this installation, the BSC faces a rival: the Baby Sitters Agency, staffed by middle- and high-school students who can stay out later. Kristy has plenty of ideas to compete, but the ones the club agrees to are the "kid kits" (boxes of toys, books, and art supplies) and a discount for regular customers. Still, the BSC doesn't get as many calls as before - until the girls start hearing from their former charges about the new babysitters, who aren't nearly as attentive or responsible.

Meanwhile, Stacey wins a battle with her parents over managing her diabetes: they keep finding new doctors, despite the fact that Stacey is doing well with her insulin shots and diet. Finally, Stacey finds a doctor who agrees with her and can help reassure her parents that they can back off a little and give her more control over her own health.

All panels are black and white, no color. ( )
