This actually held up really, really well! At first I had to get used to the more simple writing style (I don't read much Middle Grade these days) but once I got into it I flew through it in about an hour. They stayed really true to this book in the first episode of the Netflix show. I forgot how funny these books could be (like with Andrew's constant "Yups" or Boo Boo the cursed cat). I also love that it didn't feel like I was reading a book written in the 80s and it could easily be set in modern day.

This was recommended to me by my daughter. She loved this story and wanted me to read it. This is a graphic novel os based on the original series that I had read as a girl. I honestly forgot all about reading it until I started the story and it sounded familiar. I really enjoyed it...again. I loved the illustrations and the characters are great for younger girls. Kristy decides to start a club with her friends Claudia, Stacey, and Mary Anne. They baby-sit for the people in town but something is going on with Stacey and the girls aren't sure what. Baby sitting could being in money and lots of fun but they weren't expecting what happened.

I thought this was a really great story and a wonderful start to a series. The illustrations are well done, colorful and great to follow along with. This is a great read for younger girls and adults. I plan to get the entire series for my daughter. I highly recommend! :)

Thanks for stopping by to check out my review.

Have a great day and Happy Reading!
