Bookroo's summary

Claudia's summer plans with the Baby-sitters Club take a turn when her beloved grandmother, Mimi, suffers a stroke. Now, she's thrust into the role of caregiver, while her sister Janine remains distant and unhelpful. As tensions rise, Claudia must navigate the challenges of family dynamics and sibling rivalry. Can the Kishi sisters find common ground, or will their differences drive them further apart? Dive into a heartfelt journey of love, responsibility, and the complexities of sisterhood.

From the publisher

America’s favorite series returns with a new look and a Netflix tv show. 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-sitters 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?
