Netflix's adaptation of the best-selling book series gets the tone just right
For years as a kid, I longed to know the Baby-Sitters Club. My sister would read of their adventures in’s blockbuster middle-grade book series and relay them to me, but something—probably some lame, inculcated belief that the novels were for girls—kept me from reading them myself. So I only knew dimly of Kristy’s great idea to start a baby-sitting club, of Claudia’s artsiness, of Stacey’s Manhattan origin story, of Mary-Anne’s burgeoning step-sisterhood with Dawn.
But! What we think is lost can sometimes be found. No, I did not spend quarantine reading the books. Instead, I’ve used this lonely time revisiting other childhood characters in new and updated forms: polished and prettified versions of Mario and Link, in their respective Nintendo Switch games. The small miracle of Shukert’s series is how free it is in its earnest assessment of the liminal time of middle school, when many kids are stuck between the trappings of childhood and the wilds of adolescence—both its excitement and its creeping cynicism.addresses that shift in a way that I’d imagine will be quite palatable to and processable by its intended young audience, while also nudging them forward into new understandings.
