Baby-Sitters Little Sister #5

Drama is written all over this cover — Karen, arms crossed and glasses firmly in place, looks thoroughly unimpressed, while a boy nearby makes a goofy faces-with-fingers move that's clearly not helping matters. Two other kids seated on the floor look equally skeptical, with an open book between them and the whole scene set against a cheerful yellow backdrop. Katy Farina adapts Ann M. Martin's Karen's School Picture with bright, expressive character work that perfectly captures the big feelings of being seven in 2022.
