"Claudia's sister, Janine, is too busy being smart to be nice to anyone--even their grandmother, Mimi. But Claudia doesn't have to see Janine too much this summer, since the Baby-sitter's Club is starting a new play group. It's going to be so much fun! But then Mimi has a stroke, and the whole summer changes. Now Claudia is 'Mimi-sitting,' and Janine is no help at all. How can the Kishi sisters get along when Janine is always so mean?"-- Provided...

"It's fun to be a Baby-sitters Little Sister! We Heart Cats! Karen's best friend Hannie just got a new kitten. Now all her friends have cats. And Karen has a great idea. She can start a club like her big sister Kristy. It will be a Kittycat Club! What will the club do? Karen can't baby-sit like Kristy...but she can cat-sit! Will anyone want Karen as a cat-sitter? They'd better-running a club is hard work!" --

Members of the Baby-sitters Club are determined not to let Dawn get hurt by her new boyfriend Travis, who is older and always telling her what to do.

Jessi is thrilled when she earns the lead in her dance school's latest ballet, until someone starts sabotaging her rehearsals and giving her threatening messages.

A family of porcelain dolls that has lived in the same house for one hundred years is taken aback when a new family of plastic dolls arrives and doesn't follow The Doll Code of Honor.

Mallory, whose family is suddenly short of money, takes a baby-sitting job and needs the help of the Baby-sitters Club in adjusting to her new employers' wealth.

Nobody wants to believe it, but it looks as though someone is out to get the Baby-sitters Club. Stacey is nearly run down by a speeding car. A fire is set at Claudia's house, a rock is thrown through Kristy's window. Everybody hopes the trouble will stop when Kristy, Stacey, Claudia and Abby head to Shadow Lake with Kristy's family for a ski weekend.
