The first of the new Collector's Club Editions features a new logo, bright
new cover, and fill-in pages to personalize as Kristy comes up with the
idea for the Baby-sitter's Club with friends Claudia, Stacey, and Mary
Anne.

From the Publisher

Follows the adventures of Kristy and the other members of the Baby-Sitters
Club as they deal with crank calls, uncontrollable two-year-olds, wild
pets, and parents who do not always tell the truth.

School Library Journal

Gr 4-6 Seventh-grader Kristy Thomas organizes her friends into a baby-sitters
club. In the course of the operation of the club, Kristy comes to terms
with her mother's engagement, Stacey confides to her new friends that
she has diabetes, Claudia learns to tolerate and even appreciate her gifted
older sister, and Mary Anne makes some compromises with her over-protective
father. All of the elements of concern to pre-teen girls (wearing the
``in'' clothes, keeping friendships stable, coping with family stresses,
and trying to grow up) are here, tied to the almost universal experience
of baby-sitting. Characters are not drawn with great depth, but the action
is on target. A pleasant offering that will find a ready audience. Candy

From the Publisher

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

School Library Journal

Gr 3-5 The four 12-year-old girls who comprise ``The Baby-sitters Club''
are worried about a robber whose pattern involves first calling the possible
victim and then remaining silent. The girls, responsible babysitters,
are at the same time gossipy girls who are variously at odds with members
of their families, their schoolwork, and above all, boys. It is one of
the latter who turns out to be Claudia's ``Phantom caller,'' brave enough
to dial, but too shy to ask her to the dance. Martin sometimes writes
as her audience would (Claudia ``goes'' rather than ``says,'' for instance).
Claudia is an underachiever, but gifted in art; she has a brilliant sister
she doesn't like; and she is Japanese. She should be an interesting and
complex character, but she is hardly distinguishable from the other three
babysitters. This contrived story is one of those ephemeral paperbacks
that can easily be forgotten. Carolyn Jenks, Oyster River Elementary School,
Durham, N.H.

Annotation

Stacey McGill has a difficult time, because her parents are unwilling
to accept the fact that she has diabetes.

From the Publisher

The truth about Stacey is she has diabetes. Nobody knows..except her friends
in the Babysitters Club. But even they don't know the real truth about
Stacey. Stacey's problem is her parents. They won't admit she has the
disease, and they drag her to practically every doctor in America! Seeing
so many doctors made Stacey lose one friend, and she won't let it happen
again. Especially now - when the Baby-sitters Club needs her more than
ever!
