Karen's Surprise: A Graphic Novel (baby-sitters Little Sister #12)

Karen’s Surprise: A Graphic Novel (Baby-Sitters Little Sister #12) by Shauna J. Grant is a bright, funny kids graphic novel that captures the drama of school plays and big feelings in a way young readers will instantly recognise. A spin-off from The Baby-sitters Club world, it’s packed with warm humour, friendship, and that satisfying moment when a kid finds their confidence.

Karen is sure she deserves the starring role in her class Thanksgiving play. Instead, she’s cast as the turkey — a big brown costume, a couple of lines, and the sinking feeling that everyone might laugh. As rehearsals roll on, Karen starts plotting a way to turn the “worst part” into something unforgettable.

Perfect for fans of The Baby-sitters Club, junior graphic novels, and realistic school stories about family, friendship and self-belief.
