Dawn Schafer is the newest member of The Baby-sitters Club. While shes still adjusting to life in Stoneybrook after moving from sunny California, shes eager to accept her first big job. But taking care of the three Barrett kids would be too much for any baby-sitter. The house is always a mess, the kids are out of control, and Mrs. Barrett never does any of the things she promises. On top of all that, Dawn wants to fit in with the other members of the BSC, but she cant figure out how to get along with Kristy. Was joining The Baby-sitters Club a mistake?
