Baby-Sitters Little Sister

Baby-Sitters Little Sister

"Baby-sitters Little Sister" is a series spin-off of "The Baby-sitters Club" book series. Written by Ann M. Martin, the series centered on 7-year-old Karen Brewer, the stepsister to Kristy Thomas of "The Baby-sitters Club". In this series, Karen is a second-grader at Stoneybrook Academy.

In the beginning of the series, Karen and her younger brother Andrew live primarily with their mother and step-father. They visit their father and step-mother every other weekend and for a few weeks on vacations. Starting with BSLS #48, "Karen's Two Families", Karen and Andrew began switching houses every month. At this point, each book covered the month at their respective house (unlike the earlier books, such as BSLS#3, "Karen's Worst Day", which only covered a short amount of time).

Although the series covered holiday celebrations every year in real-time, Karen only celebrated her birthday once (she turned seven in BSLS #7, "Karen's Birthday"). Similarly, no other main character celebrated a birthday during the run of the series.

Certain events in "The Baby-sitters Club" overlapped in the "Baby-sitters Little Sister" series, although the timeline was obviously off by around a year.

The series began in 1988 with the publishing of "Karen's Witch", and ended twelve years later in 2000 with the publishing of "Karen's Cowboy". The series would prove to be rather popular in the early 90s.
