Mike. I told Daniel you can borrow any of my Babysitter Club books. I was a huge fan and I believe I have all of the series. I’ll try to have the box out for you on Wed morning.

Thanks again Mike… Glad you enjoyed my second book! (I agree, the pace IS much better — there’s an actual PLOT.)

Personally, I’ve never read The Baby Sitters Club. My sister read The Girls of Canby Hall series when I was growing up, and I’d borrow them. The one that got me hooked was called “Here Come the Boys.” (Go figure!)

Yep, Stacey has diabetes and isn’t allowed to eat sugar (except when she’s hypo, and then I think she eats honey) and tries to hide it in her debut book. I think she’s on NPH; the books were written before the development of Lantus and around the time that Novolog hit the market. And guess what? There’s a graphic novel series that’s the same books only as graphic novels.

I’m a total Baby Sitter’s Club nerd, so I’m excited to hear what you think (the first few books are probably the best, just because the girls all have actual personalities and aren’t one-trait caricatures of themselves). And yes, Stacey has diabetes (although it’s not discussed until I think #3? The Truth About Stacey is the title, I know).

Yep, I think it was Stacy who had diabetes. I loved those books growing up…and I might have 3 and 9 laying around someplace around the house. I’ll give it a look when I’m off work.
