Remember Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, Stacey, Dawn, Mallory, Jessi, Logan, Shannon and Abby?
Mallory was my favorite.
They were all members of The Babysitter’s Club! Remember
those books?
The books are about the
many adventures of a club of middle school aged baby sitters from the 80’s. I
feel like we’ve talked about teen books a lot lately by the way! Anyhow, I
loved those books. By 1990, The Babysitter’s Club became a series on HBO. Never
missed an episode.
The Babysitter’s Club book cover designs were always the
same. The title was made up of building blocks and there was a square photo on
the cover depicting what the adventure was about. There was always a subtitle
that included about ten words to give you a glimpse into what was to come.
My
favorite subtitle: He’s smart. He’s handsome. He 22!
The babysitter club members
were 13.
