Arriving in Autumn 2024

Crenshaw and Yingst are the latest creators to adapt volumes of Martin’s iconic series to sequential graphic narrative, and they’re joining some good company. This includes Raina Telgemeier, Gabriela Epstein and Chan Chau. And it’s worth noting that all of the previous volumes in the Baby-sitters Club and Baby-sitters Little Sister series have hit national bestseller lists!
