When a local neighborhood theater is planning a fundraiser and everyone wants Stacey to babysit, she has a lightbulb moment and decides all the members of the Baby-Sitter Club should visit New York City to help with one big babysitting gig. But will all the members of the BSC feel at home once they leave Connecticut?

This was another fun addition to the ongoing graphic novel adaptations of the popular series. As the girls are growing a little older, they are more mature and going on bigger adventures, such as making this exciting trip to NYC. Young readers of the book series will probably find this delightful as a way to live a bit vicariously and maybe even have a little bit of the girls' awe and/or fear of a big city adventure. As always, I feel this series shows overall responsibility on the part of the girls, even when they make mistakes along the way. Their friendship is certainly admirable, as they always learn to make up even if they fight and work to maintain this long-distance friendship.

There are a few oddities as this series continues to be adapted. Some things seem to be stuck in the time period of the original BSC, such as landlines, while other details are updated for a more modern audience, such as a playbill for the musical Hamilton. I'm not sure how much young readers will pick up on that or not, but I almost feel like some things will be foreign to the intended audience because they are outdated now. The stories themselves, however, remain evergreen even if youngsters don't really send postcards to keep up to date anymore when they can all call or, more likely, text their family and friends when apart.
