This review appears on my blog: https://confessionsofabookwormweb.wordpress.com/2020/11/09/book-review-dawn-and-the-impossible-three-the-baby-sitters-club-5-by-ann-m-martin/
Dawn is a member of the Baby-sitters Club, but she still feels like an outsider, especially since the other four members each have an official position in the club. Also, Kristy is jealous of her blossoming friendship with Mary Anne, especially when Mary Anne tels her first - and enlists her help - that she is redecorating her room. Also, they continue to grow closer when Mary Anne's dad and Dawn's mom - who used to be high school sweethearts - start dating again.
In an effort to prove herself to Kristy, Dawn takes on a babysitting job for the Barretts. However, the Barretts are a handful and Mrs. Barrett constantly forgets to give her important information, including emergency number, and the house is always a mess! The children are not complete terrors, but Mrs. Barrett continuously calls on Dawn to babysit, mor so than is reasonable. Everything comes to a head when one of the Barrett children disappears and Dawn doesn't know how to get a hold of Mrs. Barret, will this be her final time baby sitting the Barretts?
I liked this instalment in the Baby-sitters Club series, however the title is way more overdramatic than what actually ends up happening in the novel.
I also liked how throughout the novel we see how divorce can affect a family, especially in the early aftermath of one. We see how it can cause chaos, especially for a peresnt who used to stay at home, but now has to become the provider of the family. I also appreciate how we see Dawn making friends with the other members of the BSC, especially Kristy, who is usually jealous of her. 4/5 Stars.
