‘Baby-Sitters Club’ Returns With Prequel

I admit it: I’m ex-ci-ted! I was a total Claudia. If I remember correctly, she was kin of the Miranda of the bunch.

Of course, some time has passed since the books first came out in 1986. I particularly like this quote from Motokio Rich’s article:

“Editors at Scholastic updated some of the references to technology and outdated fashions in the reissued books. So a ‘cassette player’ has become ‘headphones’ and a ‘perm’ has become ‘an expensive hairstyle.’”

I was SO obsessed you guys. I gotta find all my old copies. I wanted to be Stacey, because she was all cool and from New York. But Dawn was cool, she was from California. And I felt bad for Claudia because she couldn’t spell.

Mary Anne had the coolest handwriting.
