Publisher's Summary
Three decades after The Baby-Sitters Club first rocked our world—like scoring your own phone line, in your room!—the beloved franchise is back to binge (and share) like never before!
In the most exciting news since we first learned of Kristy Thomas’s great idea to start the Baby-Sitters Club, the book series is now available only from Audible as an audio experience with special guest narrator Elle Fanning, the multi-talented actress and fan of BSC.
With endearing characters and enduring storylines filled with lessons of self-discovery, the beauty of true friendship, and the power of youth-led entrepreneurship itself, the BSC has never felt more now. So, whether you’re joining the club for the first time, or the first time in quite a while, spend time with stories that transcend the ages. Gather up the kids—not to mention those nieces, nephews, and neighbors alike—for all the twists, turns, hilarity, and burns of tween life in Stoneybrook, Connecticut!
Mary Anne has never been a leader of the BSC. So when a fight breaks out among the club's four members, Mary Anne feels a little lost, unable to depend on Kristy, Stacey, or Claudia anymore. Sitting by herself in the cafeteria is bad enough; when Mary Anne has to baby-sit a sick child without any help from the club, she knows someone has to take action. It's time for Mary Anne to step in and save the day!
The best friends you'll ever have—with classic BSC covers and a letter from Ann M. Martin!

I might just be too old for this BSC story
I am on a quest to revisit my childhood reading favorites. When I was a child, I loved the Babysitters Club books. I devoured them. I read those, along with the Super Specials, Mysteries, Little Sister books, etc. In fact, I still have all of them to this day in paperback. They were such a big part of my love of reading, I could not part with them. So now that they have come out on Audiobook, I had to check them out. As it turns out, I am not too old to enjoy The Baby-sitters Club. It kind of feels like going home again. Mary Anne Saves the Day is book 4 in the Baby-sitters Club series. In this book, there is drama. Lots and lots of drama. All of the girls of the BSC are fighting. Mary Anne makes a new friend. There is a medical emergency with a child that Mary Anne is babysitting. She handles it very maturely and responsibly, but is it enough to prove to Mary Anne's father that she is growing up and should be allowed additional privileges? This book has been my least favorite while revisiting my childhood favorite series. I think I am too old for all of the juvenile fighting and behavior portrayed in this book. I had very little patience for it. This book is a quick listen and is only 3 hours and 6 minutes. The narrator does a good job. I still love the nostalgia and am ready to listen to book 5!
