"Claudia has always been the most outrageous kid in her class, until Ashley Wyeth comes along, Ashley's really different--she wears hippie clothes, has six holes in her ears, and is the most fantastic artist Claudia has ever met. Ashley says Claudia has artistic talent, too. She thinks Claudia should spend more time on her "calling" and forget about the Baby-sitters Club: It's just a waste of time. The Baby-sitters are sick of Ashley Wyeth, and they think Claudia's a traitor. Claudia's got to decide: either the Baby-sitters Club or the new girl--one of them's got to go!"--Amazon.com.

Stacey, a member of the Baby-sitters Club, learns to cope with her diabetes and her overprotective parents.

Dawn is sure there's a ghost in her house, but she and the other babysitters are so busy with their jobs that they don't have time for a ghost hunt.

As a new member of the Baby-sitters Club, Dawn tries to win the acceptance of the club's president by tackling a tough babysitting job.

Claudia decides to investigate when she and the other members of the Baby-sitters Club receive mysterious phone calls while out on assignments.
