Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

"Once upon a time, a girl named Kristy Thomas had a great idea: to form The Baby-Sitters Club with her best friends. And now twelve-year-old Malia Twiggs has had a great idea too. Technically, she had Kristy’s idea. (And technically, little kids seem gross and annoying, but a paycheck is a paycheck). After a little convincing, Malia and her friends Dot and Bree start a babysitting club to earn funds for an epic birthday bash. But babysitting definitely isn’t what they thought it would be.

Three friends. No parents. Unlimited snacks. And, okay, occasionally watching other people’s children. What could possibly go wrong?"

Based loosely around the babysitters club this book brought back a little bit of my childhood. I really enjoyed reading an easy, cosy read! The three main characters were instantly likeable and i think, easy for young girls to relate to. During the book they have to each overcome their own problems that tests their friendship to the brink.

I can see this book being a hit with younger girls before they hit their teenage years. I will definitely recommend to the girls i teach!

Thanks for the opportunity to read and consider this book for review. Unfortunately it was not for me and I will not be reviewing it.

Ok, so some may ask why a grown woman requested this book, so I’ll tell you!
The Babysitters Club were my favourite books when I was younger. I had sooooo many of them that they dominated my bookshelf. So when I saw that this book was based on my childhood favourites, of course I was going to give it a go!
With this being only a sampler, I obviously haven’t completed the whole book, but what I have read was great!
The story so far introduces us to the three main girls who I assume will start this new babysitters club. Malia (or Alia as she wants to be known!), Bree and Dot are 100% unqualified and don’t even really like kids, but as they say, they’re minor details! I think this book would engage young readers from the start, it’s punchy and interesting and draws you into their world from page one. I love the basis of this book and would definitely recommend it, my daughter would love it! Fours shiny stars from purplebookstand!

"The Babysitter's Club" was a fixture of my childhood, so anything which draws from it has a high bar of nostalgia to get over. I like the little nods to the original series and how that's what gives the trio the idea of babysitting. The three girls seem like an interesting blend of personalities too with plenty of potential for parental issues as they try and start their new business.
