Baby-sitters Club #1: Kristy's Great Idea (Summer Reading)

Get ready for summer reading with a special edition of Kristy's Great Idea!

When Kristy Thomas has the great idea to form a baby-sitters club -- a chance to earn money and spend time with her friends, all while doing something they each love to do -- she has no idea how much the club will change everything.

Crank calls, uncontrollable toddlers, wild pets, untruthful clients . . . running a business is hard work! Kristy and her co-founders, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey, are sure they can handle anything. But only if they stick together . . .
