About this book

From the bestselling author of the generation-defining series The Baby-sitters Club comes a series for a new generation!

I thought I had escaped having to write my autobiography at SMS. But no! I moved all the way back to California, and what do I find? My English teacher assigned the very same project. So here I am with lots of memories of both California and Connecticut. There was the time I met my future best friend Sunny and thought she was a weirdo. And there were baby-sitting adventures, like the day I was a hero, and the day I really blew it. Now that I'm finished, I'm kind of glad I had to write my autobiography. You know what? I've had a pretty interesting life.
