Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey are best friends and founding members of THE BABYSITTERS CLUB. Whatever comes up cranky toddlers, huge dogs, scary neighbours, prank calls you can count on them to save the day.

Stacey McGill is moving back to New York! That means no more Stoneybrook Middle School, no more Charlotte Johanssen, and worst of all... No more Babysitters Club. Stacey's friends are crushed when they hear that Stacey's moving, especially Claudia. Stacey is her best friend.

What kind of going-away present is good enough for someone so special? And how will the BSC go on without Stacey?
