A massive argument tears apart the Baby-Sitters Club, leaving Mary Anne Spier completely isolated. She sits alone at lunch tables and navigates her strict father's rules without her usual support system. Making new friends feels impossible when you're naturally shy. Then disaster strikes during a babysitting job. Mary Anne confronts a serious emergency with no backup and no one to call for help. The other BSC members remain too angry to speak to each other. Mary Anne must dig deep and find courage she never knew she possessed. She handles the crisis on her own and discovers her own strength. Her success becomes the key to healing the broken friendships that once meant everything to all four girls.
