Gabriela EpsteinRezensionen

These books always make me laugh and cry. This book was very cute. It also focused on very real topics like friends moving away the complicated feelings of that. The adpations of this story into a graphic novel is always fun. I also really loved how you could see the realtionship between all the girls and also stacy and the kids. This was such a cute and and I am really loving this series!

I really enjoyed this read. I thought this book also tackled some new friendship issues both in the core group but also the complexities of new friendship. I also thought this book also explored how to life balance for middle school kids. As a adult, I still struggle with that and found that to be refershing topic. I read this book in on siting. Such a fun series!!

Stacey's parents have big news for her: After being in Stoneybrook for only a little over a year, they are moving back to New York City. Stacey is understandably upset, as are the other members of the Baby-Sitters Club (BSC). As Stacey organizes a yard sale for the things that won't fit in their new apartment, the BSC brainstorms a way to have a send-off party to remember.

This is another sweet story in the BSC series; I love how the books tackle serious but ordinary problems for kids. In this case, a parent's job relocation is a big deal for a middle schooler and her friends. As usual, the BSC serve as good role models for readers as they handle the situation with big emotions but also grace, responsibility, care, and thoughtfulness.

The illustrations pair nicely with the text.

Ashley is a new girl in Claudia's English class and Claudia's immediately smitten with her talent as an artist. The feeling appears to be mutual and everything seems great until Ashley wants Claudia to focus only on art and wants to monopolize all her time until the point where Claudia is falling behind in school work, missing Baby-sitters Club meetings, and neglecting her core group of friends. But, she really loves the art mentorship, so what should Claudia do?

This book has an interesting message/warning about false friends who want a component of you but not the whole package. No one wants to be pigeonholed by only one aspect of themselves, and no one should have to give up core parts of themselves for a relationship of any kind.

However, I do feel like the book could have handled this theme a little better. Maybe it's in part due to the shortness of the adaptation, but it felt like the BSC group turned on Claudia very quickly and were mean-spirited in their retaliations to her missing a few meetings. It is briefly touched on towards the end when everyone apologizes, but I think it didn't go far enough in explaining that their behavior was almost equally bad.

That being said, there is still a lot of positive values shown by the group, including making amends, being responsible and trustworthy, finding common ground, seeking consent, and supporting friends' hobbies and talents.

This graphic novel series has a new (third?) adaptor/illustrator. The art style is similar to the previous ones but with slightly different twists that I'm not sure I love.½

¿Podrá Claudia compaginar su pasión, una nueva amistad y EL CLUB DE LAS CANGURO?

Claudia siempre ha sido la chica más creativa de su clase… hasta que llega Ashley Wyeth. Ashley es realmente diferente, y es la artista más maravillosa que Claudia nunca ha conocido.Ashley piensa que Claudia también es una gran artista, pero cree que desperdicia su talento con su trabajo en EL CLUB DE LAS CANGURO. Cuando Claudia empieza a pasar más tiempo con Ashley y deja de ir a las reuniones del Club, queda claro que deberá tomar una decisión y ¡elegir con quién quedarse!

Stacey McGill's family has to move out of Stoneybrook for her dad's job, so the Baby-Sitters Club learns to say good-bye . . . and throws a heck of a yard sale and farewell party. Nice.

A transfer student upsets the status quo for the friendship group in the BSC. It's not one of my favorite episodes since so many of the characters are acting mean and petty for a lot of the book, but I do like the arc Claudia follows and her conscientious interaction with the members of the Rodowsky family for whom she babysits even in the midst of all the tempest-in-a-teapot tween drama. And there are good lessons about prioritization and time management. It's a pretty decent start for the new adapter, Gabriela Epstein.

I thought the message if you can call it that, was great. It's not good to monopolize one person's time, especially if you have to manipulate them to do so.
