The kids have spoken! "Boy-Crazy Stacey," a Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel by Gale Galligan and based on the novel by Ann M. Martin, has been officially crowned our best book of 2025!

The series has been extremely popular with our younger readers this past year, and you might remember seeing several of the titles in the first round of our March Madness bracket.

Thanks to everyone who voted in our bracket this year!

We crunched the numbers and found the 16 most checked out books of 2025 - and now you get to choose which one is the best! Select your favorite title of each match-up to help them advance to the next round!

And if you haven't read either book in a match-up, we give you permission to judge the book by its cover and vote for which one you'd rather read.

Vote for your faves here: https://forms.gle/re2sAkPzAPhYGRTK9
