Poor Stacey. She's moved to a new town. She's still coming to terms with her diabetes. She's facing baby-sitting problems left and right. And her parents are no help.
Luckily, Stacey has three new, true friends -- Kristy, Claudia, and Mary Anne. Together they're the BSC -- and they will deal with whatever's thrown their way... even if it's a rival baby-sitting club!
Stacey McGill has a difficult time, because her parents are unwilling to accept the fact that she has diabetes.
Gr 5–7
Stacey is the new girl in town. She has made three good friends in a babysitters club but her memories of her old friends still haunt her. Many of them, including her best friend, Laine, ditched her after she was diagnosed with diabetes. Her parents aren't much help; they keep dragging her from doctor to doctor looking for a miracle cure. All Stacey wants to do is manage her condition on her own terms. An impending trip back to New York and a rival babysitting club has Stacey confused and nervous. Will she be able to reconcile with Laine? Will this new group, complete with sitters who can stay up late, end the club for good? The graphic adaptation of the hugely popular series has as much heart as the original. The girls' dedication to the kids they care for and to their friendship never comes off as hokey. The black-and-white cartoons capture each character's personality; the facial expressions say a lot. Each girl has her own style. The outfits have been updated but the skirts haven't gotten shorter. A solid purchase for both school and public libraries.

This is a book about friend in the 7th grade. They all babysit younger kids(and dogs). Kristy decided they could make a club to earn more money. All of her friends joined in and they had some ups and downs while babysitting. There journing started as The Babysitters Club.

The truth about Stacey is a great book for everyone who likes to read about people with typical lives. This book talks about the job of a baby sitter, and the life lessons they learn as they deal with a new baby sitters agency. They face many difficulties with the agency???

im a fan of the bsc, always have been since the 4th grade till now(im now 22) Stacey is diabetic and she has a hard time dealing with it...not because of the fact that she is ill, but because those who are around her seems to bug into her personal life continously...though she has great friends in Stoneybrook, she still have dilemas and problems with her past life in NY...The truth About Stacey is a touching Novel...for both childrens and returning fans of the babysitters club...it brings fun and thoughts into those that are young...and truth and meaning to those who are older...BSB is made for all age =) i highly recommend the old BSB novel...but this comic one is a great read as well.
