Birdhouse Books and Gifts in Austin, Tex., hosted a sold-out Scholastic Summer of Baby-sitters Club event with graphic novelist Gabriela Epstein (Claudia and the New Girl; Good-Bye Stacey, Good-Bye). Epstein gave a presentation full of stories about adapting Ann M. Martin's novels, and led a live drawing demo where she taught the kids how to draw Claudia. The kids also made friendship bracelets and had a dance party, and Birdhouse Books raffled off two Summer of BSC beach towels.
