For the series book, I decided to read The Baby-sitters Club book again because it had been a very long time since the last time I had read it and I had no memories of it. I don't think there was a particular reason why I didn't remember it, such as not liking it but I think it was just so long ago (like 3rd grade) that it's just floated out of my memory. I also don't remember reading a lot of other books in the series which also surprises me because they were all the hype back in the day, when there was no Twilight or Harry Potter. I thought the book was very predicable and it was a very easy read. After finishing the book, it was easy to tell that there was more books coming and sure enough there are a few series about the girls. As I was reading the book I related a lot of it to being in Girl Scouts. All the meetings and volunteering with friends and creating organizations to help out the community. The writing was very girly. I feel like in the young reader chapter books, the voice in the book is very feminine or masculine based on the main character and what the intended audience is going through at the current time in their life, such as crushes or hanging out in the neighborhood or even little fights between friends. I find this especially true in books where a girl is the main character. I think at a young age girls are much more dramatic then boys and create a lot more drama for themselves. The book had a very strong story line. It had background information and creating the characters, and than the beginning, middle, climax, end (conclusion) and the parts were very clear cut. Each chapter had an aim. Each character was also very different from one another so it was easy to relate to at least one of them. I think that was another reason the books were so popular, because it drew in a lot of different audiences because each girl character had different interests.
