The Ghost at Dawn's House (The Baby-Sitters Club #9) Review

ISBN 0590435086 - Martin's The Baby-Sitters Club series as a whole is great reading and The Ghost at Dawn's House misses the 5 star mark by mere sentences.
Maybe it's just her imagination. After all, there's stormy weather and scary stories and they DO live in an old house... so maybe Dawn's not really hearing noises behind her wall - but she thinks she is, and sets out to find the secret passage that she's sure is there. When she finds it, the mystery just begins. What, or who, is making those noises? Is her house really haunted? If so, who's haunting it and why?
In the meantime, the BSC is dealing with their feelings about the Perkinses, who now live in Kristy's old house, and Nicky Pike is feeling left out because the other Pike boys don't want to play with him, so he finds a special place to call his own and takes to disappearing on his sitters!
The ending was incomplete, to me, leaving too much unanswered. Unfortunately, if I go into it, I'll give away too much! I do hope Martin revisits Dawn's ghost and her secret passage, if only to clean up the unfinished threads of this book. Even so, BSC fans will enjoy the story, as always!

Mary Anne Saves The Day (Baby-Sitters Club #4) Review

I'm 28 years old, and I recently moved. While cleaning out my house to pack for the move, I ran across a box of Babysitters Club books that I read when I was younger. I had forgotten about those since I hadn't read them in many years. I was 13 when my dad bought Mary Anne Saves the Day for me at the local grocery store. He said I could get a book and that one caught my eye. I read it when I got home, and I was hooked. Since then, I bought books 1-3, and then each book after that every month when it came out. I was 18 when I stopped reading them. I felt I had outgrown them. When I recently found those books, I reread them all, starting with Mary Anne Saves the Day. It brought back a lot of memories, and I am now collecting them all again for my own daughter, if I ever have one.
Mary Anne Saves the Day is about a shy 12 year old girl who lives with her single father, who is very strict when it comes to raising her. She belongs to a great group of friends who run a business called The Babysitters Club. During one of her jobs, a little girl grows ill while in her care, and Mary Anne must use quick thinking to get the child to the hospital.
These are wonderful books for children. It's a shame Ann M. Martin is no longer writing them, but they will be always cherished

Kristy's Big Day (Baby-Sitters Club) Review

Kristy changes her usual tom-boy image when she gets to be a bridsmaid for her mother and Watson's wedding. She and the other babysitters have to look after a load of kids who are going to be at the wedding for a week. This is one of the best Kristy books but I think that the other babysitters should have been bridesmaids too! Read this if you like big babysitter events and Kristy!

The megahit series returns to charm and inspire another generation of baby-sitters! Following a brand-new prequel in April 2010, the original BSC titles are back with a new look.
Kristy's mom is getting married, and FOURTEEN little kids are coming to the wedding! Stacey, Claudia, Mary Anne, Dawn, and Kristy think they can handle it -- but that's before they spend a week changing diapers, stopping fights, solving mix-ups ... and getting sick and tired of baby-sitting!
But together, the BSC can do anything -- even keep things under control for Kristy's big day!

The reason I put this book for five stars is becuase it really is interesting.The part where Mimi has a stroke really scared me because I was worried about Claudia loosing Mimi because I know what it is like to loose someone very close to you.So I really was worried but when the doctors said that Mimi was going to be okay I was so happy.But I really liked the part in this book when Claudia and Janine were being nice to each other.It kinda sounds like my sister and I.I really enjoyed this book even tho some of this book they spoke Japanese I still liked it.Oh!One more thing I don't like this book..........I LOVE it.I really enjoyed this book and I hope you will too.
