I feel like I've read this one before, but that might just be because all of these books have similar themes. I was surprised that this dealt with a more serious topic (parental neglect/kidnapping) but I think they were done pretty well. It's also easy to keep up with the characters, even though there are many (and will be many more to come).

The Babysitter's Club takes on new clients and Dawn becomes the family's favorite sitter. But this family may just be a little too much for her to handle...

As a kid, I always liked this one because it showed a more serious, dangerous side to babysitting. I still enjoyed that aspect of this book. As others have pointed out, there are a few continuity errors which sucks, but hey, it's a book for kids. I found it enjoyable as always. <3


As a kid my best friends sister had the whole BSC series on a book shelf in her room. I thought she was so grown up. And I envied this bookshelf. And would often poke my head into that room just to look at it.
And when I read BSC, I felt like such a grown up.
And while I might have still been a little too young to understand some of the issues dealt with in these books, I do appreciated that Ann M. Martin tackled age appropriate issues, some being deeper than others, but still important.

Poor Dawn seriously, that family was too much, so many responsibilities for a 12-year-old girl, I understand that divorce has to be quite challenging but those parents have three kids unattended, I was quite surprised that the police officers didn't call the social services.
In this book, we learn more about Dawn, the new member of the club, her family and her relationship with Mary Ann and Kristy. I am disappointed to find out that Elle Fanning didn't record more audiobooks of these series, I really like her audiobooks, and just checking the sample of the next volume in the series, meh, I didn't like it, the voice is kind of childish, ums, I think I will give it a try just to the ebook but It is going to be sad to not continue hearing the audiobooks. It was nice to laugh at the members of the club adventures and troubles while doing chores

It's time for another edition of The Baby-Sitters Club with Dawn and the Impossible Three by Ann M. Martin. This one brought a new member into the club, Dawn, who has divorced parents and her mother recently moved them from California to Connecticut and reconnected with her high school boyfriend, Mary Anne's dad. Dawn starts regularly baby-sitting for a family going through a divorce and she has to deal with some of the struggles in their family, including a seeming parental kidnapping situation. I thought all of the situations in the book were handle with care despite how heavy some of the issues were.

Y hasta aquí llegaron las narraciones de Elle Fanning, pero no me siento lista para dejar al club de las niñeras, les agarré cariño. Así que, ya veré hasta dónde llego, en serio no creo que lea los 131 libros... pero sí unos cuántos más.
