Accompanying the Pike family during a two-week vacation to the Jersey Shore, baby-sitter Stacey falls head over heels for a handsome lifeguard despite Mary Anne's warning that he is too old for her.

Dawn, the newest member of the Baby-sitters Club, gets more than she bargained for when her first job turns into a disaster and she has problems with Kristy.

Kristy's family moves to a new neighborhood where the kids make fun of Louie, Kristy's pet collie, who's going blind. The Baby-sitters are not going to let them get away with it.

At the urging of a very artistic new girl who encourages Claudia to practice art instead of caring for kids, Claudia considers leaving the club and the other members give her an ultimatum.

"Claudia and her sister, Janine, may as well be from two different planets. Claudia, who pays more attention to her artwork and The Baby-sitters Club than her homework, feels like she can't compete with her perfect sister. Janine studies nonstop, gets straight As, and even takes college-level courses! But when something unexpected happens to the most beloved person in their family, will the sisters be able to put aside their differences?"--

"Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends and founding member of The Baby-sitters Club. Whatever comes up--cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors, prank calls--you can count on them to save the day. Baby-sitting isn't always easy, and neither is dealing with strict parents, new families, fashion emergencies, and mysterious secrets. But no matter what, the BSC have what they need most: friendship"--Page [4] of cover.

When her friends from the Baby-sitters Club come for a visit in NYC, Stacey realizes they feel out of place in the big city and must find a way to keep the weekend from becoming a complete disaster.

"They're lean, they're mean, they're the pride of Stoneybrook. Who are they? They're Kristy's Krushers! When Kristy sees how much her little brothers and sister want to play on a softball team, she starts a ragtag team of her own. Maybe Kristy's Krushers aren't world champions (how could they be, with Jackie Rodowsky, walking disaster, playing for them?), but nobody beats them when it comes to team spirit. Now Bart's Bashers have challenged the Krushers...

"Babymouse discovers that babysitting is not as easy as it sounds"--

Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia y Stacey son amiagas del alma y fundadoras de El Club de las Baby-sitters. Pase lo que pase-- niños quejicas, perros enormes, vecinos que dan miedo o bromas telefónicas--, ellas so capaces de resolverlo.
