Podcast #088

For my eighty-eighth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed author Janae Marks about the first book in the Baby-Sitter’s Club series, Kristy’s Great Idea. Kristy and her three friends – Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey – start a babysitting service called The Baby-Sitter’s Club. What follows is a story of friendship, family, and a whole lot of baby-sitting misadventures. The first of many, many books in a series that is still going strong for more than thirty years.

Janae Marks is author of the middle grade novel From the Desk of Zoe Washington. You can find her website at www.janaemarks.com.
