In this one four of the remaining members of the club leave, which brings the level down to the original four members. Kristy and Abby go as CITs to camp, Claudia and her family go to an island, Stacey goes to Manhattan, where she has problems with her dad and his girlfriend, and Mary Anne stays in Stoneybrook with her family, and she tries to cope with the fire and Logan who is treating her like she can't take care of herself.
This is a wonderful, and very realistic book that chronicles what happens to four very different teenage girls. A great book, by a great author!
Kristy: is worrying big time about what is going to happen with the Baby-sitters Club as they get older and afraid that she and all her friends will drift apart in high school.
Mary Anne: is getting over the fire a little, and thinking about being her own person, not just the person her dad or Logan want her to be. She starts to think that Logan is smothering her.
Claudia: is on a trip to a "deserted" island with her family, and gets back to the simple life and finds that she likes it a lot.
Stacey: is having difficulties with her father- he doesn't like Ethan and thinks that Stacey is seeing too much of him, and he is thinking about moving in with his girlfriend who he has been seeing for a long time. Stacey doesn't like the idea of that.
This is a great book, and seems to focus on the situations that teenagers face when they start to head out of middle school and start to head into high school. A wonderful, realistic book.
