"When the graphic novel remake of Ann M. Martin's book Claudia and the Bad Joke was the best-selling kids book in Canada earlier this month, it was time for bookworm elder millennials and gen-Xers to feel their hearts flutter with nostalgia. The original, part of the wildly popular The Baby-Sitters Club series, was published in 1988.
"It's not a one-off. As Scholastic points out, all of the graphic novel adaptations of the original books have been on best-seller lists.
"The novels have taken off with a new generation of readers, which experts have noted steers the popular comic-style genre to a more female audience. Meanwhile, fans of the original series, which first started publishing in 1986 and chronicled the lives of a fictional group of 12-year-old babysitters, get to experience the books all over again."

My own nostalgia is for the Choose Your Own Adventures Series, so I kind of relate.
