Claudia and Mean Janine (Baby-Sitters Club Graphic Novels #4)

Wow, a really hard hitting volume of BSC!

As someone who worked for a couple of years with older adults, I really appreciated the way that her grandmother's stroke was handled. Watching your loved ones get older, and feeling yourself getting older, is freaky - even to those of us in the adult world. But as per usual Martin and Telgemeier handle the lessons for readers (old and young) with great skill and maturity.

SHOWING rather then telling, and especially in this volume just being open to us about some of the darker places in life. Encouraging us to build bridges and understanding people who we might in conflict with.

The more technical aspects remain really solid, and even as a bit of an outside observer I'm looking forward to see where this series goes in 2017.
