Kristy Thomas starts a babysitting club with her friends, hoping for fun and profit. But crank calls, unruly toddlers, and tricky clients test their resolve. As chaos ensues, Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey must navigate the ups and downs of their new venture. Will their friendship withstand the pressures of running a business, or will the challenges tear them apart? Discover how these young entrepreneurs tackle unexpected hurdles and learn the true value of teamwork.

From the publisher

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