This New Jersey children's book editor-turned author created a series for young teens where a group of girls (based on her god-daughters) form a baby-sitting club. The series debuted in 1986, and the girls handled childcare emergencies and made trips to the mall, dealt with family death and divorce all while earning their own spending money. The series was so popular it was translated into 19 languages and even spawned a series for younger readers about the babysitters' little sisters. In 2019 the books began appearing as graphic novels. The author is Ann M. Martin.
