Here’s a chance for you and a tween* in your life to meet Ann M. Martin, author of The Baby-Sitters Club series. Let’s face it, even if you don’t know a young fan of The BSC (yet!), don’t you feel that it’s your literary duty to introduce today’s tweens to this legendary series? And invite them to join the Club that many

girls women cherish to this day since 1986. Better yet, Scholastic is reviving The BSC, with minor updates (for example, no more perms for Stacey), brand new covers, and even – to the excitement Morgan can barely contain – a brand new prequel, The Summer Before!

Ann will be at the 2010 AllyKatzz Tween Girl Summit in New York on October 10. So if you’re a New Yorker or you happen to be in town that day, then why not enter our Twitter giveaway for a chance to win tickets to the event and shake hands or swap hugs with Ann herself?

*Urban Dictionary definition of tween: “…a girl ages about 9-14…too old for toys, but too young for boys.”
