Part of The Baby-Sitters Club, book 38

Kristy Thomas never expected to receive love letters. Romance seems impossible for the tough president of the Baby-sitters Club. Then mysterious notes appear, covered with hearts and filled with mushy declarations. Kristy and her friend Shannon suspect Bart Taylor, the rival softball coach who always challenges Kristy's team. The notes could be his idea of flirting or maybe just another competitive game between them. But the messages start changing. The sweet words become strange. Then they turn creepy. Kristy wonders if Bart is playing an elaborate prank on her. Or maybe someone else is behind the notes, someone with darker intentions. The situation grows more unsettling with each delivery. Kristy must figure out who is sending these messages and what they really want. The Baby-sitters Club rallies around their president to solve the mystery before things get worse.
