Summary

"Ann M. Martin's Baby-Sitters Club series featured a complex cast of characters and touched on an impressive range of issues that were underrepresented at the time: divorce, adoption, childhood illness, class division, and racism.

Martin's beloved series, thirty-five years later-celebrating the BSC's profound cultural influence"--, Provided by publisher
