Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends

and founding members of THE BABYSITTERS CLUB. Whatever comes up

- cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbors, prank calls - you

can count on them to save the day.

Claudia has always been the most creative kid in her class...

until Ashley Wyeth comes along. Ashley's really different: she wears

hippie clothes and has multiple earrings, and she's the most

fantastic artist Claudia has ever met. Ashley says Claudia is a great

artist, too, but thinks she's wasting her artistic talent with

The Baby-sitters Club. When Claudia starts spending more time

with Ashley and missing BSC meetings, it becomes clear that Claudia

has to make a decision - one of them has to go!
