The hit series returns to charm and inspire another generation of baby-sitters!
Claudia's sister, Janine, is too busy being smart to be nice to anyone - even their grandmother, Mimi. But Claudia doesn't have to see Janine too much this summer, since the Baby-Sitters Club is starting a new play group. It's going to be so much fun!
But then Mimi has a stroke, and the whole summer changes. Now Claudia is "Mimi-sitting," and Janine is no help at all. How can the Kishi sisters get along when Janine is always so mean?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I like the voice of the narrator, except when she does Stacey’s voice. Too valley girl for a New Yorker.
I love Mimi though. I really felt for her when she was learning to speak and write again after her stroke.
And I loved the part with the BSC day camp.
Poor Mimi.

Claudia and Mean Janine is book 7 in the Baby-sitters Club series. In this book, Claudia's grandmother, Mimi, has a stroke! Only 13 year old Claudia and her 15 year old sister, Janine, are home when it happens. This book takes us on an emotional journey as Mimi is hospitalized and the family deals with all that entails. When Mimi was ready to return home, Claudia gave up her other babysitting jobs for a bit in favor of Mimi-sitting. There is a lot of drama in this book between the sisters, but even though this book is called Claudia and Mean Janine, it was actually Claudia who was being mean and not attempting to understand her sister or bridge the gap. It took Claudia watching how 4 year old Jamie Newton was behaving with his baby sister, for her to actually start to see how she was the one treating Janine poorly.
This book is a quick listen and is only 3 hours and 2 minutes. The first 5 books all had the same narrator. Book 6 had a different narrator and now this book has a different narrator. Unfortunately, I did not care for this narrator. Her reading and voices took away from the story. Her pronunciations were off. I think that if a narrator is picking up a book in a series, it is important that they pay attention to how the names are said in all of the other books so that it is the same all the way through. In books, 1-6, and 8 since I have already listened to that one, Mary Anne's last name is pronounced Spear and in this book, the narrator pronounces it as Spy-er. Oddly enough, the accents used in this book kind of came off as offensive and distasteful. Also, Janine had a big part in this book so there was a lot of dialogue from her. The narrator's speech pattern and voice for Janine was horrendous. She made Janine sound like a robot and read sentences one word at a time with pauses in between each word. I do not recommend this as an audiobook, maybe just read this one instead.
My love for these books and the nostalgia is holding strong. I am ready to listen to books 8, 9, and 10!
