In the 1980's and 1990's, Ann M. Martin's beloved book series "The Baby-sitter's Club" provided young readers with fun, family-oriented narratives that tackled more serious issues as the protagonists -- a crew of middle school girls who were really into childcare -- navigated adolescence.

For example, in this one, Mallory must navigate the perils of Tinder and Snapchat.
