[AR4.3] ISBN-10: 0590734520 Wikipedia on The Baby-Sitters Club -- The Baby-Sitters Club is a series of children's books, written by Ann M. Martin and published by Scholastic between 1986-2000, which sold over 175 million copies. Many of the books were ghostwritten, including 43 by Peter Lerangis. However, Ann Martin wrote the first 35 books. This series is about a group of middle school students living in the fictional town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut. They run a business called The Baby-Sitters Club, in which parents call during their club meetings (which take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 5:30-6:00 p.m.) and schedule a babysitter for a certain day/time. The club runs financially on dues and fundraising, and the babysitters write diaries of their jobs to help each other. The members of the club are also best friends, although they go through many conflicts throughout the series. The club starts out with four members (Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, and Stacey McGill), eventually expanding to ten. All of the main characters are thirteen, with the exception of junior members Mallory Pike and Jessica Ramsey, who are two years younger. When the club was founded (in 1986), the four members were in the seventh grade, but ten books later (1988), they are promoted to the eighth grade. From there, they are frozen in time until the very end of the series (2000), in which they graduate from middle school. Wikipedia on the Author -- Ann Matthews Martin (born August 12, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey) is an American author of children's and young adult books, most notably the The Baby-sitters Club series. She graduated from Smith College in 1978 with a double major in psychology and elementary education, later becoming a teacher and then an editor of children's books. Her first book was Bummer Summer, published in 1983. Ideas from Martin's books came from personal experiences, including her own babysitting as a child. Martin lives in Hudson Valley, New York. According to the biographical blurb in the back of the Baby-Sitters Club books, she "likes ice cream and I Love Lucy, and hates to cook." In 1990, she created the Ann M. Martin Foundation, which provides grants to causes benefiting children, education/literacy programs, and homeless people and animals.
