Mary Anne thinks that Stacey should leave Scott alone and focus on the Pike kids, but Stacey's in love. Mary Anne doesn't like it one bit! How can she tell Stacey that Scott just isn't interested without ruining their friendship and breaking Stacey's heart?

Mary Anne should never have thrown away that chain letter she got in the mail. Ever since she did, bad things have been happening to everyone in the Baby-sitters Club.

The BSC might never see an end to their bad luck if they don’t solve this mystery soon!

Matt has been deaf since birth and uses sign language to communicate, so Jessi has to use it, too. It's a secret language! Soon all the neighbourhood kids want to learn how to sign, which keeps the BSC busy.

George and Harold are up to their old tricks again, and when their latest prank makes a direct hit on school brainiac Melvin Sneedly, he decides to get even! But in the blink of an eye–and the sneeze of a nose–Melvin goes from snooty to snotty, and the Bionic Booger Boy is born! Can Captain Underpants clean up this catastrophe, or will the mucous monster make a mess of things?

When we last saw our heroes, George and Harold, they had been turned into evil zombie nerds doomed to roam a devastated, post-apocalyptic planet for all eternity. But why, you might ask, didn't the amazing Captain Underpants save the boys from this frightening fate? Because Tippy Tinkletrousers and his time-traveling hijinks prevented George and Harold from creating Captain Underpants in the first place! Now, having changed the course of human history forever, they'll have to figure out a way to change it back!

When we last saw George and Harold, they were headed to jail for the rest of their lives. What could be worse? How about being pulled from prison by a time-travelling tyrant named Tippy Tinkletrousers?!!? Now the boys are taking a trip back in time to the carefree days of kindergarten, when the scariest thing they had to face was not evil mad scientists or alien cafeteria ladies, but a sixth-grade bully named Kipper Krupp, the nephew of their clueless school principal.

George and Harold are always good at using their imaginations, and that drives their mean home-room teacher, Ms. Ribble, crazy! But this time, they've come up with much more than a silly prank–they've accidentally created a monster! With her horrendous hairdo and two rabid robots, Wedgie Woman is well on her way to world domination, and only the Waistband Warrior can stop her!
