I grew up devouring the Babysitters' Club series and was positively giddy when I got to meet author Ann M. Martin (the perks of being a librarian). And now the series is getting a revamp, read more about it in this New York Times article. Stacy and Claudia were my favorite characters - Stacy because she was from NYC and Claudia because she inspired to wear mismatched shoelaces - the height of 12-year-old fashion.
