I wish I had a picture of me reading The Baby Sitters Club back when I was younger. It was one of those series that you just couldn’t put down. Just the other day I couldn’t remember if I had read the entire series. I don’t have girls, but I’d love to re-read them as well as a few other titles of my childhood. You can imagine the excitement I felt when I heard that all 131 titles from the beloved series would be coming to Audible! That’s right! The Baby Sitters Club is back and available on Audible! How exciting right?
Elle Fanning narrates the first five books in the series for Audible. Fanning commented: “The fierce friendships and babysitting adventures of The Baby-Sitters Club have been so much fun to perform! It has been such an exciting and new experience for me to bring this entrepreneurial squad to life as Audible books. People can now relive these coming of age stories in a whole new way or enjoy them for the very first time!” And as a fan I am very excited to listen to the books.
The remaining volumes are individually read by a cast of actresses including Brittany Pressley, Ali Ahn, Emily Bauer, Lauren Fortgang, Bahni Turpin, Erin Moon, Stephany Einstein, and Vanessa Johansson.
Author Ann Martin shared in her enthusiasm for this launch on Audible, “I’m thrilled to see that the readership for The Baby-sitters Club continues to grow after all these years,” said Martin. “And I’m grateful and honored to hear from fans – young and old – who have supported the series with such affection, love and nostalgia for all things BSC. I’m excited that Audible will bring the books to life in a new format for the next generation.”
Diana Dapito, Audible SVP of Content, commented “Ann M. Martin’s iconic stories of enterprising young women bonded by friendship have entertained, inspired, and empowered generations. We’re delighted to bring this beloved series to life in a new way for listeners all over the world and introduce Kristy, Claudia, and the rest of the gang to audiences of all ages.”
