Title The summer before / Ann M. Martin.

SRP 2013 REVIEW: I liked this book because it tells us what the baby sitters club did before the baby sitters club started.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: It started slow but after a bit it was a really good intro to the four main characters in the Babysitters Club.

SRP 2010 REVIEWS (2): #1) As an adult, it was quite weird to go back to reading a Children's book, but as an avid Baby-Sitters Club fan in my younger years, I couldn't resist. This chronicles the summer before the girls began the Baby-Sitters Club, each of them going through their own coming of age story line that leaves them each feeling secluded from their former world. Fans would love this (as well as children who have never been introduced to the Baby-Sitters Club) It was a huge trip down memory lane, but there isn't much else to be enjoyed as an adult. It's cute, nostalgic, and the list ends there. #2) This book was like the first one but it was a liittle different because of what it was about. It was fantastic and I think that it was the best out of the whole series.=^)
