In 1986, US author, Ann M. Martin wrote and published the children’s book, Kristy’s Great Idea. The book followed the story of four best friends, Kristy Thomas, Claudia Kishi, Mary Anne Spier, and Stacey McGill, who form The Baby-Sitters Club.

Kristy’s Great Idea was a hit with readers and became the first entry in The Baby-Sitters Club book series. Over the next couple of decades, the series would grow to incorporate more than 100 titles, and would soon expand to include various spin-offs too.
