Episode 187: Kristy's Big Day (Baby-Sitters Club #6)

Kristy’s Big Day (Baby-Sitters Club #6)
We are gathered here today to celebrate the love of Kristy’s mom and Watson… but also the love among the members of the BSC. On Episode 187, Alli and her guest explore Ann M. Martin’s favorite Baby-Sitters Club installment, Kristy’s Big Day. They chat about blended families, Kristy as a queer icon, traditional gender roles throughout the series, and the class dynamics we see between the Brewers and the Thomases. They also praise the club’s entrepreneurial know-how and demand better pay for them! This is guest Alison Cochrun’s first-ever experience reading a BSC title, which makes it extra fun.
