brainwaneI've now finished The Baby-Sitters Club 10-episode first season.
As I was talking with a friend about it -- she, like me, read way more BSC than Sweet Valley while growing up -- I ended up declaiming:
Sweet Valley is about identity (this tight, exclusive unit of two twins) and Babysitters Club is about labor and an ever-expanding coalition (not to mention a worker-owned co-op) that expands across race, age, and gender. SV is to BSC as Star Wars is to Star Trek.
