The Babysitters Little Sister graphic novel series is a warm, funny and relatable spin-off from Ann M. Martin’s classic Babysitters Club books, reimagined in full colour for a new generation. Adapted by Katy Farina, the series follows seven-year-old Karen Brewer—Kristy’s younger stepsister—as she navigates the ups and downs of childhood with lots of energy and just a touch of drama.
Karen has two homes, two families, and a big imagination. Whether she’s convinced her neighbour is a witch, determined to get glasses, or struggling with a best-friend fallout, her stories are full of real feelings and everyday adventures that young readers recognise. The graphic novel format makes the books accessible and engaging for children aged 6+, especially those gaining confidence in independent reading.
The illustrations are bright and expressive, capturing both the humour and heart of Karen’s world. Farina’s adaptation stays true to the original characters while giving the stories a fresh, modern feel. Themes of friendship, family, honesty and growing up are gently woven into each story, making these books as comforting as they are fun.
Perfect for fans of The Babysitters Club, Judy Moody, or Dork Diaries—and a lovely introduction to the world of graphic novels.
