Hurrah; Scholastic is reviving the Baby Sitters Club.
I don’t know about you but I have a whole new generation of readers who will love a refreshed look and updating (no more “perms;” the girls will now have their hair “styled”). I’m not the only one excited about it; the NYT devoted a fairly long story to the announcement.
The first two volumes are coming in April, along with a newly written prequel, The Summer Before, which will be followed by a reissue of three more next year (ther are 213 titles in the entire series).
As a sign of how things have changed since the series’ original publication (1986 to 2000), they are now being aimed at a slightly younger ages group — 7 to 10, rather than 8 to 12.

Oh my goodness–i was just home visiting my parents and saw my box set of the first four babysitters club books…I loved them so when i was a kid! I think this is a great idea.
