If you can’t answer these questions, today’s news probably won’t interest you. If you said “Adam, Bryan, Jordan, Vanessa, Nicky, Margo, Claire, Krushers and purple,” you’ll be excited to learn that Scholastic is releasing the first 20 books in the mega-bestselling 1980s and ’90s teen series The Babysitters Club as ebooks on Dec. 1. At a list price of $5.99 apiece, they’re cheap enough that once-rabid fans (ahem) can stock up on a few — though if all 250 books in the series and its spinoffs are eventually republished as ebooks, I might have to make some tough decisions.

Scholastic has printed over 176 million copies of the BSC books worldwide. The ebooks are being released with their original covers by Hodges Soileau — making it clear that Scholastic is hoping to capitalize on the nostalgia factor here. “We want it to be comfort food for the older reader, but at the same time really to get to the new fans,” Scholastic Editorial Director David Levithan told Entertainment Weekly. Scholastic has also launched a Facebook page with the motto “there for you then, there for you now” for “longtime fans.”

Scholastic had previously released the first seven books in the series, plus a new prequel in modernized editions with new covers and some updated details. Those repackaged titles are available as ebooks too, and I’ve asked Scholastic whether it will be selling two ebook versions or whether the older ebooks will be phased out.

Other popular series of the 1980s and ’90s have also been reintroduced to now-grown fans. St. Martin’s is reissuing the first 12 books in Francine Pascal’s “Sweet Valley High” series as ebooks this month (at just $2.99 apiece), and Scholastic has published the original Goosebumps books as “Goosebumps Classics.“

The e-singles series is called The 39 Clues: Rapid Fire, and each story is 30 to 40 pages long and will sell for 99 cents, USA Today reports. The stories were written by Scholastic’s in-house editorial team and are all being published under the pseudonym “Clifford Riley,” who is also a character in the series.

Many publishers have experimented with e-singles, but this appears to be the first time that a children’s book publisher is trying them out. Christmas vacation is a good time to do it since kids are on vacation and a new story will be available each day for seven days. Each story leads up to “one explosive reveal,” according to the books’ Kindle pages.

“We know a lot of kids read on digital devices and a lot will be getting e-readers for the holidays,” David Levithan, publisher and editorial director of Scholastic Press, said. There are actually very few statistics about kids’ e-reading habits, and it’s unclear how many have their own e-readers, though this holiday season could mark a tipping point. Last year Scholastic published a big report on kids and reading in the digital age, and it would be great to see that report updated as e-reader prices continue to fall and the devices become more popular.
