Interesting

Dawn and the Impossible Three by Ann M.Martin is about a girl named Dawn who just joined the baby sitters club that Kristy formed. As Dawn starts her baby sitting job, she gets faced with something that she thought wouldn't have happened. Then she later on realizes that she can't do everything for a family because it's not her job to do that and it should be the parents job to do it.Buddy Barette who is one of the kids that Dawn had to baby sit is missing and nobody knows where he is. Dawn was so scared because it was her respondsibilty to watch him and his two little sisters. She had everybody in the neighborhood looking for him. Buddy called Dawn and asked,"Buddy, where are you? we're worried death. Where are you?"(pg.140)and then she became happy to hear that he's still alive and knowing that he's coming back home.This was my first time ever reading one of the Baby Sitters Club book. at first I thought it wasn't good becuase of the title of the book, but then when i finished book, it made me want to read more books from the Baby Sitters Club. Since I was once a baby sitter myself, I can kind of relate to some of the girls in the story and that's how it made me become interested in reading the book.

New girl

The house is messed up, and worst of all they are all fighting. Well then it's up to Dawn.

Go Dawn!

I loved this book. Dawn is one of my favorite baby-sitters. In this book she is new to Stoneybrook. She just joined the BSC and made some new friends, including her best friend Mary Anne. But Mary Anne's long-time best friend Kristy is jealous and isn't very nice to Dawn. Dawn wanted to be friends with Kristy and take the big job at the Barretts. Dawn did a good job sitting for the Barretts. The house was a mess, the kids were sloppy and whiney, and Mrs. Barrett is disorganized who never leaves Dawn any directions. But she just went through a divorce and that's why her household is chaotic. I liked the part when she did the cleaning races and when she became friends with Kristy. Toward the end of the book, Buddy Barrett is missing. Dawn started a search party. But it turned out that he went off with his father. Dawn was very brave to speak up to Mrs. Barrett about her disorganized ways.

The best

I just reread Dawn and the Impossible Three today. This book is important. First, you learn more about Dawn the newest BSC member. You learn about how Dawn's friendship to Mary Anne affects Kristy. You also meet some important BSC clients. The Barretts are great people to write about. I like this book and I hope you read it.

Excellent reading

I thought that the formentioned book was excellent reading. The cross-over plot lines made good reading. This book gives great ideas on how to deal with a parent who is not "holding their part of the bargain". The baby sitters club is a great way to learn how to deal with dificult situations when one is baby-sitting
