The Baby-Sitters Club #16: Kristy and the Walking Disaster (Graphic Novel)

Ann M. Martin & Ellen T. Crenshaw

What's The Story?

Book 16 in the best-selling Baby-Sitters Club graphic series.

In this engaging new Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel, adapted by National Book Award longlister and Eisner-nominated artist Ellen T. Crenshaw, Kristy is ready to step up to the plate—literally! When she notices her younger siblings are eager to join a softball team, she takes the initiative to form her own group, Kristy's Krushers. Although they might not be the best team on the field, their unbeatable spirit and camaraderie shine through.

The Krushers are faced with a challenge from Bart's Bashers, a team that lives up to its intimidating name. On top of the competitive pressure, Kristy finds herself navigating her feelings for the Bashers' coach, adding a personal twist to the game. With Jackie Rodowsky, known for his comically disastrous play, on her team, Kristy must rally her friends and family to show that teamwork and fun can outweigh the score.

This installment promises a delightful mix of sportsmanship, budding crushes, and the strong bonds of friendship that make the Baby-Sitters Club so beloved. It’s all about how to handle challenges, both on and off the field!
