About this listen

Three decades after The Baby-Sitters Club first rocked our world—like scoring your own phone line, in your room!—the beloved franchise is back to binge (and share) like never before!

In the most exciting news since we first learned of Kristy Thomas’s great idea to start the Baby-Sitters Club, the book series is now available only from Audible as an audio experience with special guest narrator Elle Fanning, the multi-talented actress and fan of BSC.

With endearing characters and enduring storylines filled with lessons of self-discovery, the beauty of true friendship, and the power of youth-led entrepreneurship itself, the BSC has never felt more now. So, whether you’re joining the club for the first time, or the first time in quite a while, spend time with stories that transcend the ages. Gather up the kids—not to mention those nieces, nephews, and neighbors alike—for all the twists, turns, hilarity, and burns of tween life in Stoneybrook, Connecticut!

It all began with a great idea ... and the inspiring original story of The Baby-Sitters Club is back! Kristy Thomas's brilliant business plan gets off to a great start with the help of Claudia Kishi (vice-president), Mary Anne Spier (secretary), and Stacey McGill (treasurer).

I liked this book because it was funny and very interesting to listen too. I like how the story line is kind of separated into different stories but ultimately one whole book, so basically it is lots of small stories that still fit together. Overall I thought it was a very interesting story and I would like to listen to the other Babysitters Club books.

It was amazing and very enjoyable but the only confusing thing to me was when Mary Ann said bye to Kristy on the phone and Mary Ann called her June. But I could listen to this book again and again :). (Ps I’m on my dads account lol)

Amazing story
