The Baby-Sitter’s Club book series to get cover redesigns with relaunch of backlist
In April 2010, Scholastic will publish repackaged titles from Ann M. Martin’s “The Baby-Sitter’s Club” series along with a prequel titled The Summer Before. We aren’t sure what the redesigned covers for the first 20 books in the series will look like, but we spotted a thumbnail for the prequel on the NYT site (seen above).
“…The Baby-Sitters Club, which ran from 1986 through 2000, garnered an ardent following among preteenage girls throughout its run of 213 titles, with the publisher ultimately printing 176 million copies. The series, which followed the baby-sitting adventures and friendships of four 12-to-13-year-old girls — Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia and Stacey (the cast expanded to eight main characters later in the series) — spawned several spinoffs, including a mystery series and a collection of books about Kristy’s little sister. All of the books are now out of print…” —via New York Times
