Calling fans of The Babysitters Club!
Hello readers! This blog post is a bit outside of things that I usually blog about. It was brought to my attention that we could use a post for read-a-likes to the SUPER popular series: The Babysitters Club! As I used to be a Middle School Assistant Librarian I am very familiar with the status of this series flying off the shelves in the children’s section. This post is for those who are super excited to read another Babysitters Club book only to find the section laid bare by other ravenous fans. Please do not despair! You are in luck! If you find yourself in those unfortunate circumstances we have books very similar and no less fun!

If you are a Babysitters Club fan, you will totally fall in love with this great series! Malia Twiggs is also a HUGE fan of The Babysitters Club. She thinks it would be a great idea to start her own babysitting club in her home town. Malia is sure she and her friends will rake in a TON of money. The catch? Malia and her friends Bree and Dot know absolutely nothing about taking care of little kids. It can’t be that hard right? Prepare for hilarious babysitting fails as these girls learn the value of friendship and just how complicated taking care of little ones can be.
