It’s fun to be a Baby-sitter’s Little Sister!

Karen has three older brothers, and sometimes they are a pain. They won’t take Karen to the movies. And they don’t let her play football with them. Karen is so mad she decides not to talk to any boy—not her daddy or even the boy pets in her family. And maybe then they’ll be sorry!

Karen's Brothers (Baby Sitters Little Sister #17) by Ann Martin offers a delightful exploration of sibling dynamics and the challenges of being the youngest in a family.
