Re co mm en de d Re ad ing J Book Review THE TRUTH ABOUT STACEY Author: Raina Telgemeier Publisher:New York: Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic, 2015 Call No.: Junior Lending English TEL The Truth About Stacey is a graphic novel adaptation of the beloved The Baby-Sitters Club (BSC) series, which was first published in the 1980s. Even though the original series was written 30 years ago, the themes are still relevant today: children asserting their independence, bullying at school, club rivalry and making amends. The Truth About Stacey follows the members of the BSC as they contend with a rival babysitting club called the Baby-Sitters Agency. While the BSC figure out how to solve this problem, Stacey also has to come to terms with diabetes and manage her parents’ concerns. Parents who loved this series as children will definitely want to pass the joy on. The Truth About Stacey is the second book in this adapted series.

Or will it outsmart the octopus? Poor Little Guy is a semi-wordless book that leaves readers guessing how it will turn out for the little puffer fish through the creative illustrations.
