As the newest member of the BSC, Dawn is eager to prove herself. So when a big job comes along, she jumps at the chance to show everyone what she's made of.

Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. Later in 2015, after the popularity of some of Telgemeier's other books, the first four graphic novels were re-released in full color by Barden Lamb. Because they continued to be popular, more are being produced with new authors and illustrators: Gale Galligan for graphic novels #5-8, Gabriela Epstein and Chan Chau alternating for graphic novels #9-12, and new artists for various books announced afterwards.

That being said, it definitely has its charm. It is after all the start of a series that pretty much changed my life. Why else would I be writing about it more than ten years after I first read the books.I was delighted to see that the Baby-Sitters Club would be getting full colour graphic novels. I haven't read all of the Baby-Sitters Club, but I have... It’s unclear why The Ghost at Dawn's House and Little Miss Stoneybrook ...and Dawn have not been adapted into graphic novels, but it's likely either due to plot or character reasons. Currently Dawn has only been the narrator of one book, while Mallory did not narrate a book until Mallory and the Trouble with Twins (her debut book was integrated into Dawn's). It depicted the lives of Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey the summer before the school year began. [21] Mallory knows she's a good baby-sitter. She's been looking after her seven younger brothers and sisters for years. So when Kristy offers her a steady job baby-sitting for the Arnold twins, Mal thinks it'll be easy money.
