I read this because I grew up with the Babysitters Club and the sister series as well. It was a cute little throwback to my childhood. ( ) Young Karen Brewer suspects that her father's neighbor is a witch -- she has a black cat, wears long robes, has stringy gray hair, and keeps an herb garden. When Karen and her friend Hannie eavesdrop on the neighbor and hear she's having company soon, Karen becomes convinced that a meeting of witches will be happening right next door and she must save the whole town. But is it possible that Karen is confused? This was a really cute and quick read in the new graphic novel versions of Ann M. Martin's classic Baby-Sitters Club series. In fact, it is the kick-off of the graphic novel versions of the "Little Sister" run of BSC. This series can have a dual audience -- fans of the regular BSC run will likely love reading more of Karen's antics in her own title. However, the younger protagonist, simpler plot, and shorter text makes this one accessible to a younger audience as well; I'm thinking younger siblings who see their older siblings reading the BSC series will be thrilled to have a title that is age appropriate for them as well. The illustrations fit nicely with the text and are very expressive when need be. My only quibble with the book is that Karen seems to learn her lesson -- until she doesn't on the final page, in which she states she still knows that their neighbor is witch. I guess it's in line with her character, but it seemed to undercut the serious turn the book took when it pointed out her foibles. The book shows some diversity with Hannie being a child of color and Karen's parents being divorced and re-married to new partners (with stepchildren involved on her father's side). Karen Brewer is the young step-sister of Kristy Thomas - founder of the 'Baby-Sitter's Club'. I didn't read many of these growing up and I didn't even know about the 'Little Sisters' spin-off, but when a copy arrived damaged at work I took the opportunity to get to know better the series that so many kids are asking for. This book is kind of...lame. It doesn't have much plot to it and ultimately, spoiler alert, Karen is rewarded for her bad behavior towards her neighbor and no one even addresses her poor use of her friend Hanni. The art was charming, of course, and it did set up and introduce many characters from the rest of the franchise, but let's hope there's a little more material for the graphic novel author to work with next time.
