Deciding that she wants to move back to California permanently, Dawn worries about what she will say to the rest of the baby-sitters, who do not understand when they hear the news secondhand.

Deciding that she wants to move back to California permanently, Dawn worries about what she will say to her friends, who are understandably upset when they hear the news secondhand.

Trying to help her hard-working father and twin sister to adjust to life in Stoneybrook, Abby Stevenson becomes the newest member of the Baby-sitters Club and shares her first adventure.

When Dawn announces that she is moving back to California, the other Baby-sitters cannot believe that she would even consider leaving them.

One of a series of stories that revolve around the babysitters club. Dawn and Mary Anne are now stepsisters, but perhaps sharing parents and a bedroom isn't such a good idea. Dawn thought she'd always wanted a sister, but she didn't count on Mary Anne - the wicked stepsister.

Stacey quits the club, but suddenly realizes that her new "friends" are using her as a cover for their drinking, shoplifting, and other ideas of summer fun.

Writing a Thanksgiving play for the third-grade class she coaches, Claudia is disappointed when some parents object to her less-than-traditional themes, and she must choose between letting the other kids down or fighting censorship.

Claudia has a sad good-bye to make. Her grandmother, Mimi, has just died. Claudia understands that Mimi was sick for a long time, but she's still mad at her grandmother for leaving her. Who will help Claudia with her homework...and share 'special tea' with her?
