Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about the coolest kid in Stony Brook, so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate. And for this

episode, we read both Claudia and Mean Janine and Claudia and the Middle School Mystery by

Anne M. Martin. Joining us to discuss these classic Babysitters Club books is Susan Tan, a children's

book author, and former unpaid babysitter who clearly

did not pay enough attention to the entrepreneurial lessons of the babysitters club.

Hi, Susan.

Hi, thank you for having me.

Thanks for joining us.

Jinks.

We're excited.

I'm so excited.

Susan is the author of, and we'll talk about this when we get to Reader's Advisory,

but I just want to say up front of the Silla Lee Jenkins books.

And if you have kids who are reading Babysters Club, you should check those out.

Yes, I'm pretty sure we've talked about them on the podcast before.

I think we have to.

But we're doing it again.

Thank you.

So this, I'm sure, as most of you who are listening know, is yet another entrance.

Flashback Summer.
