                                                            Written By: Ann M Martin

 

     This summer I read the story “Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy’s Great Idea” written by Ann M Martin tells a story about 4 girls, Kristy, Claudia, Mary-Anne, and Stacey who start a baby sitting club! There are different books in this series. Each book is about a different girl. The first one is about Kristy.    

 

   Kristy’s parents are divorced but her mom has a boyfriend, Watson. Kristy doesn’t like Watson but her brothers and mother do so when she makes faces and complains about Watson coming over or eating dinner with them, she has no one to back her up.That makes her feel lonely. When Kristy got asked to baby-sit for Watson’s kids, Karen and Andrew, she was very upset. But, when she met Karen and Andrew and started talking to them about their parent’s divorces they all really connected. This changed the direction of the story because Kristy started to like Watson more because she could really relate with his children. This is good because when Watson proposed to her mom she said: “I wasn’t angry but I wasn’t happy.” At this point of the story her mother said: “ I need some time to think about this.” Which gave Kristy some time to get to know Watson better. A few days later, Kristy’s mother said yes to the proposal and Kristy was actually happy!

 

      I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely read the other books in this series. I liked the book because I though how the transitions and different feelings Kristy had during the story were interesting. I also enjoyed reading about the different experiences each baby-sitter had a different houses. My last reason why i liked this book was because I could take a lot of notes down on paper, and I like books that make me do that. Other people who would like this book are people who are going through the same things Kristy is going through. Or people that like to read about friendships and drama. I would definitely give this book five stars!
