America's favorite series returns with a new look and a Netflix tv show.

Mother's Day is coming up, and the Baby-sitters have the same problem they do every year: What do they get their mothers? Kristy, especially, wants to do something nice for her mom. Mrs. Brewer has been acting kind of strange and secretive lately, and Kristy's worried about her.

But then Kristy gets another one of her great ideas. Why don't the Baby-sitters treat their moms -- and the mothers of the kids they sit for -- to a day off without any kids around?

Together with Stacey, the Baby-sitters plan a gigantic baby-sitting party. It's a Mother's Day surprise that couldn't be beat! . . . until Kristy's mom reveals a very special surprise of her own.

This book is really great .I really disagree with the people who badmouthed it.I mean this is when they get Emily.And that is very inportant.I think that people who wrote those bad things about it did not even read it .And decided to make trouble .And write bad things.keep writing Ann M. Martin.If she stops it will be your fault.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhhh....
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017
Sometimes one can overdo it with the BSC. Maybe that's why I found myself anxious to get to the end. Between all the planning for the carnival and the constant descriptions of who is in what group, etc,, one can really start yawning. This is the introduction of Emily as Kristy's adoptive sister and I like how the author(s) incorporate mixed families into the pot, being that not all families are biological. I'm onto "Claudia and the new girl" now and have to give the BSC their proper dues! Actually running a business with a notebook, a budget, appointments, etc---all without staring down at their stupid little phones like the brats of the new millennium. Heck, the BSC is probably more professional than a 30-someting entrepreneur start-up company! Go, girls!

2.0 out of 5 stars Premise is wacky, overly constructed plot, factual errors
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014
I'm not sure how the Baby-Sitters Club gets the idea that the perfect Mother's Day present for the moms of the neighborhood would be "to not be moms" for a day. That always seemed counterintuitive to me, given that my Mother's Days were usually spent trying to do something nice for my mom and making her glad that she was a mom. I had a big problem with this premise.

The hijinks with the Baby-Sitters Club taking a bunch of neighborhood kids to a carnival were amusing enough. They did their usual thing that they started doing while taking care of lots of kids at once--organized them with colors and stuff--and dealt with bad stuff like injuries and nausea. But then the interesting stuff happens when Kristy's family adopts a new baby, which I have trouble believing because the bomb is dropped in this book that the adoption is happening and then it pretty much immediately happens, so I have to wonder whether a) the author did no research about how adoption works or b) she ignored how it works for convenience, like she often does to make a tight little plot that starts and ends in the same book. It also made me sad that they adopted a little girl from Vietnam and they give her an American name, so I wondered about her parents and whether she had her own name given to her by them. Oh, and it bugs me that every time the club has a big thing to do, they have to get all the members together, including a girl who lives in another state. How weird is that?
