The Washington Post is my go-to guide for all of my latest international, national, and local news. I can always count on them for hard hitting headlines such as the following:
Baby-Sitters Club returns with a prequel and reissues
Excuse me while I scream of happiness! Eek!
Basically, Scholastic is updating the BSC (Baby Sitters Club for all you noobs) books so the young tweens of today can relate. Accompanying the prequel: rereleases of the original books, updated for modern times. Gone is Stacey's bodacious perm, replaced with a generic "expensive haircut." Gone are references to Walkmen, VCRs and the daily insulin shots Stacey had to give herself: Treatment of Type 1 diabetes has progressed in the past decade. reports the Washington Post.
I can't be more excited that my fourth grade best friends are getting upgraded for 2010. The Baby Sitters Club along with Sweet Valley Twins helped introduce me to the wiley ways of American girls (which partly explains why I am the way I am today). How could I ever forget the time that Stacey was a mother's helper at the Jersey Shore? Or when Dawn and Mary Anne thought they had a ghost living in their house? Or when Mallory finally found a boyfriend in hottie Australian Ben Hobart? But I digress...
For all you other BSC nerds out there, there are resources and forums for people like us. I encourage you to talk about your feelings and discuss how you felt when Logan and Mary Anne broke up...for good.
