      About This Book

      Need a baby-sitter?
      Save time! Call: The Baby-Sitters Club and reach four experienced baby-sitters.

      Kristy Thomas, President
      Claudia Kishi, Vice-President
      Mary Anne Spier, Secretary
      Stacey McGill, Treasurer

      Kristy thinks the Baby-sitters Club is a great idea. She and her friends Claudia, Stacey, and Mary Anne all love taking care of kids. A club will give them the chance to have lots of fun—and make tons of money.

      But nobody counted on crank calls, uncontrollable two-year-olds, wild pets, and parents who don't always tell the truth. And then there's Stacey, who's acting more and more mysterious. Having a baby-sitters club isn't easy, but Kristy and her friends aren't giving up until they get it right!
