Publisher's summary

The hit series is back, to charm and inspire another generation of baby-sitters!

Claudia's not worried when she hears her newest baby-sitting charge, Betsy, is a great practical joker. After all, how much harm can one girl do?

As it turns out - plenty! Claudia breaks her leg because of one of Betsy's mean jokes...and now she's talking about quitting the club. Baby-sitting might be too dangerous. The rest of the BSC decides that Betsy needs to be taught a lesson - and the joke war is on!

Comedy goes too far.

Poor Claudia. What could go wrong? A lot!. Amazing performance by Ali. She's great with voice, tone and so on. Plan to try out the other BSC books.

Great lessons about jokes and control.

5 out of 5 Casts 🤕

I loved this story. Lots of good life lessons in this one ☝🏻.

First it’s a good story about practical jokes. Some jokes can be fun and funny but not at the expense of humiliation and injury. Also, too many tricks makes you suspicious of everything.

Second, I love that Claudia goes to her grandmother for advice. Mimi had some wise words about not being able to control every situation in life.

Three, discipline your children. It was so easy to get angry at Betsy because she’s a brat but where were the parents? After breaking Claudia’s leg she should have been grounded and those toys confiscated.

And it shouldn’t have taken Kristy to bring her to Claudia’s house for a formal apology. This is just a good example of how some parents are clueless and neglectful.

Inspiration

I’ve always been a practical Joker. This story taught me that jokes can sometimes go too far. Now I only play small pranks, like disappearing ink bug in the ice cube and watering.
