READ TO ME from... Kristy's Great Idea

<p>Why do middle grade books last and last and last? Books about wizards, books about twin girls with a red Spider Fiat, books about... babysitters? Because the writing dedicates itself to characters and action, and the best of them hold the author's heart and mind in the white space. Come listen to the warm authority and craft in KRISTY'S GREAT IDEA, the first book in the The Baby-sitters Club series by ANN M. MARTIN.</p>
