The Baby-Sitters Club

The Baby-Sitters Club (also known as the BSC) is a series of novels written by Ann M. Martin and published by Scholastic between 1986 and 2000. Collectively, the series has sold more than 190 million copies. Martin has authored an estimated 60–80 novels in the series while subsequent titles have been written by ghostwriters such as Peter Lerangis.

The Baby-Sitters Club is about a group of friends living in the fictional, suburban town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut, who run a local babysitting service called the "Baby-Sitters Club". The original four members are Kristy Thomas (founder and president), Mary Anne Spier (secretary), Claudia Kishi (vice-president), and Stacey McGill (treasurer), but the number of members varies throughout the series. The novels are told in first person and deal with issues such as illness, divorce, and moving house.

As the series progresses, Dawn Schafer (Alternate Officer), Mallory Pike and Jessi Ramsey (Junior Officers), Logan Bruno (Associate Member), Shannon Kilbourne (second Associate Member), and Abby Stevenson (Replacement Alternate Officer for Dawn) join the Baby-Sitters Club.
