Summer arrives with unexpected chaos for Kristy and her friends in the Babysitters Club. What should be their busiest season turns into something far more complicated when problems pile up around them. The warm months bring demanding clients, difficult children, and situations that test even their experienced babysitting skills. But when Kristy finds herself facing serious trouble that threatens everything she has built, she realizes she cannot handle this crisis alone. The other club members must step forward to support their leader and friend. Together, they discover that their strongest asset is not their babysitting expertise but their loyalty to each other. This summer will determine whether their friendship can survive real adversity and whether the club they have worked so hard to build will continue.
